529 MR, C. BUCKNALL : A REVISION 
together with a local plant which is nearly normal S. peregrinum. Although 
dried specimens of the former appeared to approach S. asperum, especially in 
the character of the clothing, when they grew together the two plants were 
indistinguishable. 
The appearance of Kusnezow’s work, with a figure and an excellent 
and complete deseription of this species, has confirmed me in the opinion 
that our plant, when pure bred, is that described by Ledebour.

Easily recognised by the oblong, obtuse calyx-seements which are almost 
truncate at the apex and ciliate with long spreading hairs. In the Djimil 
specimen the nutlets are smooth and shining, as described by Boissier, but 
in some at least of the Boejiikdere plants they are venoso-reticulate and 
minutely tuberculated. 
It differs from S. armeniacum in the leaves being petiolate and rounded 
or cordate at the base, by the slender hairs of the stem, and by the more 
deeply divided calyx, the segments of which bear long cilia on the margin. 
The specimen in the Sherard herbarium anticipates its collection by Balansa 
by more than 150 years. It consists only of a branch with a pair of leaves 
and racemes, but agrees in all respects with Balansa’s plant.
