2 LXXIV. CAPRIFOLIACED. (C. B. Clarke.) [ Adowa. 
A genus differing much from the order in habit. Perhaps nearer Chryso- 
splenium. 
1. A. Moschatellina, Linn. ; Boiss, Fl. Orient, iii. 2. 
Var. inodora, Fale. mss.; inodorous, cauline leaf often solitary, flowers 5-6- 
merous. 
Kasumir, Falconer; Pir Pinjal, alt. 11,500 ft., C. B. C.— Disrurs. N. Europe, 
Asia, and America. 
Rootstock short, creeping. Stem simple, 3-6 in., terminating in a solitary 
peduncle. Radical leaves 4-2 in. diam., with a long 2-6 in. petiole; cauline 2 in 
European, often 1 in Kashmir specimens, smaller, petiole short or 0; segments 
obtuse or mucronate. Heads à in. diam., green, in European specimens with a 
terminal 4-merous and 4 lateral 5-merous flowers; in Kashmir with a terminal 
5-merous and 4 or more lateral 6-merous ones. Drupe din. diam.; endocarp and 
seeds flattened.—Odour of the European plants musky, of Kashmir 0, on which 
account and the 5-6-merous flowers Falconer regarded the latter as a distinct species 
(A. inodora, Fale.) but its habit and all other characters are identical with the 
European.
