MR. J. BALL'S SPICILEGIUM FLORE MAROCCAN X. 437 
VicIA ELEGANS (Guss. Prod. Fl. Sic. ii. 438)? 
Mar. merid.— Legi spec. unicum in ditione Mesfioua ! 
V. elegans, Guss., species mihi non satis nota, ex descriptione et spec. 
(an authentica?) que vidi in grege V. onobrychoidis collocanda vide- 
tur, et spec. nostro sat bene convenit. In pl. nostra foliela mucronata 
angustiora quam in V. onobrychoide, stipule angustiores, cirri magis 
ramosi, flores æquilongæ sed tenuiores, calycis dentes longiores. Styli 
barbati nec pubescentes stirpem nostram e grege V. Cracce sejungunt. 
Cel. Boissier in Fl. Orientali V. elegantem ad var. V. varie reduxit, et 
sp. Gussonianam in grege V. Cracce collocavit. 
V. ALTISSIMA (Desf. Fl. Atl. ii. 163). 
Mar. sept.— Tanger (Webb Herb.)! 
Ar. Geog. Italia australis cum insulis. Dalmatia. Africa borealis. 
V. BIFLORa (Desf. Fl. Atl. ii. 166, tab. 197 ; DC. Pr. ii. 360). 
Mar. sept.—Inter Tetuan et Ceuta! 
Ar. Geog. Africa borealis. 
Speciminibus paucifloris V. pseudocracce, Bert., simil!s; sed preter 
alias notas V. biflora gaudet stylo apice circumcirca hirsuto, dum in V. 
pseudocracca stylus ad latus inferius apice barbatus. 
Planta nostra a typo Fontanesiano paululum variat. Folia glabres- 
centia, parce pilosa, apice longiuscule cirrata, 3-6-juga; foliola 
sepius 10, sepe alterna, oblongo-elliptica, mucronulata; stipul:e 
semisagittatz lobo unilaterali limbum subequante; pedunculi sæ- 
pissime biflori, aristati, foliis fere dimidio breviores; calycis breviter 
pilosi dentes inæquales, inferiores subulati tubo æquilongi, superiores 
breves triangulares; vexillum carina paullo longius. Floresin pedun- 
culo rarius 3 vel 1. 
V. biflora (Webb, Phyt. Can. tab. 65, B) est species aliena= V. albicans, 
Lowe. 
V. eLauca (Presl, Del. Prag. i. 37 ; Moris, Fl. Sard. i. 565, tab. 60; 
Walp. Rep. i. 713), var. RERAYENSIS (Ball in Journ. Bot. 1873, 339). 
Primo intuitu a typo parum differt floribus minoribus pallide lilacinis, 
carina apice atropurpurea. Notas differentiales graviores video in 
calyce valde inzequali, dentibus inferioribus subulatis tubo longioribus, 
superioribus vix tubum dimidium equantibus. : 
Mar. merid.—In regione superiore Atlantis Majoris. In convalle Ait 
Mesan a 2400 m. ad 2600 m.! In jugo Tagherot specimen legerunt 
cll. R. et Fr. hodie in herb. Kew conservatum ! 
Legumen immaturum pilosiusculum. In spec. ex Sicilia et Algeria 
video suturam leguminis pilosam. 
Legumina in spec. a Tagherot quam in typo paululum latiora. Semina 
4-6 ferunt. 
Ar. Geog. V. glauca est species Afrieze borealis, in Europa nonnisi in 
insulis Sicili et Sardinia detecta.
