Probably a cultivated form of C. stictocarpum which it exactly resembles except 

 as to the fruit which is f^^ in., the part used by man and therefore that which has 

 varied under cultivation. This shows a wide diflFerence in size, colour, and hairiness 

 in the two forms, but there is a series of connecting links through the var. nebe- 

 carpa. In C. Boxburghianum, the fruit is more distinctly ridged, subpentagonal ; 

 the vittse are most minute, W. & A, say several in each furrow, but they ap- 

 pear generally 1 or 0. The petals are hairy. — Wight doubts whether his t. 567 

 (which is copied from Eoxburgh) is the Tirnpinellal involucrata of W. & A. Proar. 

 369 ; but a reference to his Herbarium shows that it is ; the fruit varying somewbat 

 in size and a good deal in hairiness. The only scrap Wight got of C. stictocarpim 

 he arranged (without name) in Ftychotis, '*' ■' ^'^"^uf^ ^
