in the lower half many large immersed yellow oil-glands, when 
ripe they are brown, not shining, nearly nerveless. The utricles 
are narrowed into a longer narrower beak (than in C. nutans) and 
the two teeth are smaller. The stolons are long, slender, harden- 
ing into long, slender wiry roots. C. songorica, Kar. et Kir., is 
a larger plant with remote spikes: the ripe fruits are chestnut- 
red, almost black, shining, and subbaccate.

Henry n. 7860 is C. lanceolata. var. macrosandra, Franchet, in

mixed under the number 7860.
