40. MELANDRYUM JUGORUM, sp. п. (Sect. Elisanthe.) 
Perennis. Caulis e medio foliorum basalium editus, elatus ramosus, molliter 
pilosulus, ramis numerosis foliosis magis pilosis. Folia 10 mm., flavo- 
virentia villoso-pilosula uninervia elliptico-lanceolata apice faleato-aeuminata. 
Flores in dichasiis, mediani fructiferi retroflexi. Peduneulus centralis flore 
multum brevior, pedunculi alares eo duplo longiores vel ultra; bracteæ 
foliaceze, foliis minores, ceterum subsimiles. Calyx 10-nervius evenius 
oblongo-clavatus subampliatus pilosulus ; fructifer 14 mm., magis distentus, 
infra capselam constrictus, apice apertus, dentibus ovatis obtusis rotundatis. 
Petala purpureo-rubescentia, ungue glabro exserto, appendicibus conspicuis 
ovatis acutis. Filamenta glabra. Capsula primum medianicide dehiscens, 
dentibus deinde breviter bifidis, oblongo-ovata, carpophoro serius multum 
incrassato duplo longior. Semina reniformia, dorso faciebusque undique 
tubereulata, dorso leviter suleata.

41. MELANDRYUM LHASSANUM, sp. п. (Sect, Elisanthe.) 
Perennis. Caulis e medio foliorum basalium editus, tereti-rotundatus elatus 
erectus ramosus, pilis brevibus seabris retrorsis dense vestitus, in parte 
purpureo-rubescens, ramis 10-22 em. Folia lete virentia lanceolato-ovata 
acuta, apicem versus haud faleato-aeutata, pilis brevibus scabris retrorsis 
dense vestita, margine undulata ciliolata, basi connata haud attenuata ; 
inferiora. 32-36 mm., basi triplinervia, nervo mediano valido, nervis later- 
alibus incompletis, superiora 25-30 mm., uninervia, nervo prominente. 
Rami floriferi axillares et terminales. Flores in dichasiis laxe compositis. 
Peduneulus centralis flori wquilongus ; ramuli alares longe pedunculati, 
pedunculis pedieellisque dense glanduloso-pilosis ; bracteæ foliacese glanduloso- 
pilosæ, foliis subsimiles. Calyx 10-nervius evenius, striis purpureis, clavatus, 
basi truneatus, pilis glandulosis asperulato-scabridus ; fructifer 12 mm., 
obconieo-elavatus accretus, basi truncato-umbilicatus, apice apertus, infra 
capsulam vix constrictus, dentibus triangularibus obtusis late membranaceo- 
marginatis ibique nervis latius expansis. Petala rubella, calyce sesqui- 
longiora, ungue glabro utrinque laminam versus conspicue aurieulato, lamina 
biloba, lobis oblongis obtusis, appendicibus oblongo-linearibus obtusis vix 
rotundatis. Filamenta glabra. Capsula primum = medianicide dehiscens, 
dentibus deinde breviter bifidis, oblongo-ovata, carpophorum sat crassum 
eequans vel eo paullum longior. Semina reniformia (immatura), dorso 
canaliculata cristato-tuberculata, faciebus excavato-concaviuscula vel depressa. 
Quite distinct from any other species of Melandryum ; resembling one or 
more of the Yunnan species deseribed by Franchet under Silene.
