Ab A. serpyllifolia hee varietas (y) cui similis, differt floribus 
3-4-plove minoribus oculo nudo vix perspicuis, sepalis acuminato- 
subulatis, inequalibus, capsulá longioribus; petalis calyce 
dimidio brevioribus, capsulé triplo minore, ovoidea basi non 
ventricosa, membranacea, inter digitos compressibili et facillime

hispidulis.—Primo intuitu discernitur copiosa pubescentia glu-

Mr. Francois Crépin has observed that this plant, growing 
in similar localities to those where A. serpyllifolia is found, 
seems quite distinct, and that its characters are fixed and constant. 
Maximowiez says that this species is the more common of the 
two in Siberia, though the plant is usually recorded under the 
name of A. serpyllifolia. In Japan it is the only representative 
of the genus recorded up to the present. Mr. R. Yatabes 
specimens of A. platysperma belong to Moehringia. —
