versus densi, pedunculi obscure canotomentosi, caulis usque ad basin

H. florentinum All. adhuc ex regione Caucasica haud vidi et hanc 
speciem toto Caucaso deesse puto. Auctorum indicia, quae attinent ad 
H. florentinum, certissime ad formas casu exstolonas H. Bauhini refe- 
renda sunt. H. calodontopsis igitur forma intermedia non hybrida est 
per evolutionem ex Echininis in directione versus Praealtina enata.
