This plant certainly is the Z. coronopifolia of Poir. and the 
L. stricta of Delile. Although the spikes are more ramified, 
‘its general appearance agrees with what Delile mentions He his 
"description, * cette espéce est principalement caractérisée par 
ses longs épis linéaires." E 
The Baron Gingins de Lassaraz, in his clever “ Histoire 
Naturelle des Lavandes," has attached great importance to 
the forms of the lobes of the style; and I firmly believe 
with this botanist that they form good specific characters.
