Variable in size of leaf and flower, in the amount of pubescence, and partly in the ; 
form of leaf and sepals. ° Still, after carefully considering’ the figures and descrip- __ 
tions above quoted, and comparing with Jacquin’s original specimens, and with many 
others from various collectors, I find it impossible to recognize, among the forms 
before me, more than a single species. The flowers vary from white, with dark 
blotches, to pale purple, and to deep purple with blotches. Burman’s specific name — 
ovale deserves to be restored, not merely for its antiquity, but for its appropriateness. 
110. P. elegans (Willd. Sp. 3. p. 655); stem short, thick, sub-simple, 
scaly; leaves on long hairy petioles, sub-rotund or oval, rigid, coarsely 
toothed, glabrous or sparsely hairy above, the nerves strigose; stipules __ 
deltoid-acuminate, pubescent ; peduncles branched, the partial long and ~ 
villous 4—6-flowered ; the long pedicels, short ealyx-tube and lanceolate 
sepals villous. DC. Prod. i.p.666. Andr. Rep. t.28. Sw. Ger. t. 36.

Nearly allied to P. ovale, especially to our var. y, but the leaves are broader and 
rounder, more rigid, more decidedly toothed, and the pubescence is thin, and hispid, 
not silky. The stamens aredowny. The flowers are large, a purplish rose-colour 
in our wild specimens ; white, suffused with purple and streaked, in the cultivated. x 
111. P. @notheree (Jacq. Ic. Rar. t. 525); whole plant canescent; stem 
short, sub-simple, scaly ; leaves mostly shorter than the petioles, lan- 
ceolate or linear-oblong, cuneate or obtuse at base, toothed ; stipules 
adnate, subulate, divergent ; peduncles branched, the partial longer than es 
which is shorter than the broadly lanceolate, densely pubescent sepals.

Nearly related to P. coronopifolium, but the leaves are shorter, more equally 
toothed throughout, and not tapering much at base ; the flowers also are smaller and 
the calyx-tube very short. Petals rosy purple. In Herb. Banks! is a specimen 
from Masson with longer and broader, more coarsely toothed leaves ; 4-5-flowered 
umbels and longer pedicels ; the general pubescence less canescent than usual. 
112. P. coronopifolium (Jacq. Ic. Rar. t. 526); stem short, sub-simple, 
scaly ; leaves narrow-lanceolate or linear, tapering greatly at the base, acute, 
. 
uncles branched, the partial shorter than the leaves, 2—3-flowered ; 
ls four times as long as the short calyx-tube, whose pubescence, 
that of the lanceolate sepals is reflexed ; upper petals obovate.
