128 V. Zo'ysi (Wulf. in Jacq. coll. 4. p. 295. te 11. f. 1.) 
root fibrous; stem quite simple, hardly so long as the footstalks ; 
leaves ovate, crenate, smooth; stipulas elliptical-lanceolate, 
undivided, nearly entire; spur thrice as long as the auricles

there will be found a slight lateral notch. The plant, moreover, 
1s smaller, perfectly smooth, and green, never glaucous, and the 
spur rather thicker. Petals large, yellow, with black lines at 
the bottom, sometimes partly tinged with blue.

lines. This is probably the V. chrysdntha of Fisch. in litt.
