The oldest specimens of this plant, colleeted at Laghouat by Kralik, and 
also others in Herb. Kew received from Reboud, are late gathered and 
more or less exhausted individuals bearing small flowers, but are none the 
less clearly conspecific with the much finer examples obtained more recently 
in the same district by Paris and Chevallier. It is noteworthy that the 
foliage of the weaker plants shows relatively narrow and acute segments, 
The variety major is a much larger plant, with finer flowers, almost 
recalling the section Callianthos. It appears, however, to possess all the 
essential features of the Laghouat form, except that its bracts and sepals 
are smaller and broader,
