S. Taürica, Habl. phys. beschr. taur. p. 207. S. pinifolia, 
Pall. ind. taur. Stem pilose, or woolly, almost glabrous above, 
and often purplish. Leaves numerous, sometimes almost gla- 
brous, but usually canescent and pilose, with 3-4 pairs of seg- 
ments, which are usually twin, or by threes, but opposite, and 
therefore apparently somewhat verticillate. Corolla beautiful, 
large, white. "There is a variety of this with usually very nar- 
row, almost glabrous leaves, and with the whorls all 6-flowered, 
and sometimes 10-flowered and more. There are also varieties 
differing in the size and form of the floral leaves. The S. Hab- 
liziàna is a more hairy plant, with broader leaflets than that 
called S. scabiosefolia in the gardens, whose leaflets are narrower 
and nearly glabrous.

the whorls. Leaves petiolate, wrinkled. Whorls distant, 6- 
flowered. Bracteas shorter than the calyxes. Calyx large, 
campanulate, veiny, membranaceous, with rounded segments. 
It appears to differ from S. calycina in the stems being humble 
and herbaceous, in the cauline leaves being smaller, and the 
floral ones lanceolate.
