XI. RUBIACEX. 
GALIUM CYMULOSUM. Humile, caule erecto glabro superne 
parce dichotomo cymuloso, foliis parvis quaternis elliptico-lenti- 
culis obsolete trinerviis margine scabridulis, eymis terminalibus 
et ex axillis superioribus foliosis contractis 3-8-floris, pedicellis 
flore brevioribus fructiferis erectis, fructu glabro sepius inequa-

Hab. in sphagueis sylvaticis montis Amani; floret Augusto. 
A dwarf plant of Sect. I. Eugalium, $1. Platygalia, but with 
indistinct lateral nerves, nearest to .E. valantioides, but distinct 
by its smaller size, smaller elliptical not rhomboid leaves, with less 
marked nerves, few flowers in almost sessile cymules subtended and 
almost concealed by two oblong leaves longer than themselves. 
Plant 3-5 inches high, leaves 3-4 lines long, 13-23 broad, 
cymules 2-3 lines broad. 
G. LANUGINOSUM. Perenne, basi suffruticosum, totum patule 
lanuginosum canum, caulibus erectis crassiusculis, foliis ellip- 
tico-rhomboideis margine revolutis, cymis axillaribus pedun- 
culatis. 
Hab. prope Hadjin in Tauro. 
As the specimen is not in flower it is not possible to determine 
its affinity. It has the aspect of a neighbour of G. canum, but 
is quite distinct in indumentum and form of leaves. Stems 3-6 
inches high, leaves 3-5 lines long, 2-3 broad. 
ASPERULA DISSITIFLORA. Perennis, minute scabridula, sicci- 
tate nigrescens, rhizomate repente lignoso, caulibus numerosis 
elongatis tortuosis inferne induratis debilibus procumbentibus, 
foliis senis oblongo-ellipticis obtusis vel mucronulatis, floribus 
solitariis rarius 2-4-cymulosis, pedunculis pedicellisque gracillimis 
folio brevioribus ex axillis superioribus, corolle (siccitate albo- 
virentis) tubo lobis ovato-oblongis parum breviore, antheris ob- 
longis exsertis, ovario minuto globuloso apice truncato. 
Hab. in sylvaticis Amani; floret estate et autumno. 
A plant of Sect. VI. Cynanchica, § 6. Brachyantha, having no 
near congeners, distinguished from most of the Asperule by its
