134 SPICILEGIA GORGONEA. 
subulatis ciliatis bracteola sublongioribus, corolle calycem 
paullo excedentis labio superiore subnullo inferiore trifido 
laciniis linearibus, genitalibus corolle -longitudine vel 
breviter exsertis. 
Has. In herb. ins. Cap. Vir. (Mus. reg. Par.) 
This plant approaches very nearly the G. salicifolia, Lamck. 
but differs in the shape of its leaves, in the length of ate 
peduncles, in the form of the teeth of the calyx, and its 
much shorter stamens and style. In none of the speci- 
mens from Madeira, or from the Canary Islands, is there any 
approximation towards the Cape de Verd plant: this identity 
of form is so remarkable that I am induced to consider tt 
specifically different.
