The genus Hdraianthus was established by Alphonse 
De Candolle (in the “ Prodromus’’), for a small group of 
plants, originally placed in Campanula, and on the division 
of that genus rightly referred to Wahlenbergia, from which 
latter it differs solely in the very peculiar habit of all the spe- 
cies, which are stemless, with linear grassy radical leaves, and 
suberect or decumbent flowering branches bearing heads of 
sessile flowers, which are involucrate by imbricating bracts. 
About four species are known, all natives of Southern 
Austria (Dalmatia, Croatia, and Transylvania), except one, 
which I have not seen, the FH. Owerinianus of Ruprecht, a 
native of the Caucasus, and which from the description 
must differ very widely from its European congeners. Of 
the latter, EZ. dalmaticus appears to me to be identical 
with H. tenuifolius, and is iadeed a native of the same 
mountains; the glabrous flowering-stems, on which the
