coming erect as the fruit ripens, one-flowered. Corolla 
divided to the base into six segments or petals, which are 
very patent, white within, with a green stripe along the 
mid-rib on the outside ; alternate ones three-toothed at the 
tip. Filaments erect, widening at the base, accuminate, 
of equal length, shorter by half than the petals: Anthers 
oval, versatile: pollen yellow. _Germen obtuscly three- 
cornered, yellow. ag shorter than the stamens, truncate. 
By some authors this species has been considered to be 
a variety of pyrenaicum, from which it especially differs 
in its humbler growth; in having longer peduncles; no 
yellow colour in the flower ; style shorter than the stamens; 
bractes a fifth part, instead of half the length of the pedun- 
cles. From stachyodes it differs in having all the stamens 
of equal length.
