more rigid hairs ; but the moft material difference appears to 

 be in the length of the internal calyx, which in graminifolia is 

 hardly longer than the external. 



The flower exceeds in fize that of any other known fpecies 

 of Scabious, and continues long in beauty. 



Raifed by Mr. Loddiges from feeds received by him from 

 Mount Caucafus. Is a hardy perennial. Flowers in July and 

 Augnft.
