Calyx-lobes unequal, lanceolate, ciliate, 1 line long. Fert. fil. glabrous. Carpels 
4-5, glabrous. Style equalling the stamens. Capsule 2 lines long.—The pubescence 
is very variable, the adult leaves often glabrate. A. mollis, B. & W., is a form with 
very villous leaves, the upper nevertheless glabrate. The peduncles which are mostly _ 
villous, with or without glands, in var. 5. are sometimes quite glabrous, as in a wild 
i from Dr. Pappe; and sometimes sparingly covered with short hairs, as in 
authentic sp. of A. hybrida, B. & W.

oblong or oblong, obtuse, flat, with revolute, glandular-subcrenulate margins, 
thickish, velvetty on both sides; flowers umbellate ; peduncles and calyces 
pubescent ; calyx-lobes ovate-oblong, obtuse; petals twice as long as 
the calyx, the claws glabrous, equalling the calyx, limbs obovate-oblong, 
narrowed at base ; sterile filaments but little longer than the calyx, ovato- 
lanceolate, downy, with a spreading, narrow, glabrous point ; ovary and 
style glabrous. 
Var. 8., lanceolata; leaves oblongo-lanceolate, or lanceolate, acute ;
