a. glabra, Ledeb. FI. Rossica, i. p. 365. 
Lusus 2:—Calyx 22-3 mm. ; sepala sepe longe acuminata. 
SYN. A. gypsophiloides var. parviflora, Boiss. Fl. Orient. i. p. 694. 
B. viscosa, Ledeb. Fl. Rossica, i. p. 865. 
This species is the plant described by Tournefort as * Alsine 
orientalis Caryophylli folio, flore parvo albo." It is of the habit 
of a Gypsophila. 
Geogr. limits.—N. Russian Armenia: Lake Gók-tehai. 
S. & E. N. Persia ; at the base of Mt. Demavend, in the 
Elburz range. 
W. Turkish Kurdistan: prov. of Diarbekir, between 
Diarbekir and Suwerek. (It was in this neighbourhood 
that Tournefort collected his specimens.)

Radix crassa lignosa. Tota glauca. Caudex dense multiceps. 
Turiones compacte fasciculati vel rosulati. Caules floriger 
pauci erecti ramosi teneri tenuiter glanduloso-pubescentes 47 
centim. Folia turionum lineari-filiformia albo-punetulata apicu- 
lata glanduloso-ciliolata perbrevia, caulina pauca remota rigidiora. 
Sepala enervia late ovata nec acuta. Petala alba oblonga vix 
emarginata. Capsula calyce multum longior. Semina circiter 6. 
This species has much the habit of A. compacta, but much 
more obtuse sepals; it is very nearly related to 4. capillaris, 
but differs in its condensed habit and in a waxy punctuation 
of the leaves. Mr. Robinson subsequently reduces his plant 
to a variety of A. capillaris, but none of the many forms 0 
A. capillaris have glaucous leaves and emarginate petals. dino
