3. H. ciliata. 
Caulibus herbaceis prostratis pilis minutissimis retrorsüm arcuatis tectis, 
foliis ovatis ciliatis, florum sessilium glomerulis axillaribus. 
H. glabra. Gussone, Prodr. Fl. Sicul. i. 293. 
Herniaria. Raii Syn. 160. 
Smooth Rupture-wort. Pet. Herb. x. 9. 
Whole plant dark green; stems covered with minute curved hairs, as in the 
last species, but much less thickly ; flowers smaller than in H. hirsuta, 
and more numerous in each of the clusters, which do not coalesce as in 
H. glabra, but form small distinct masses, each consisting of two or three 
clusters ; sepals ovate, generally with a strong hair at their apex, and also 
having a few very minute scattered hairs upon them ; corolla and stamens 
as in H. hirsuta; stigmas much larger than in H. glabra and more diver- 
gent; leaves strongly ciliated, and sometimes with a few hairs on their 
disk, sessile; stipules shorter than in the last and more ciliated. 
The description of H. glabra in Dr. Hooker's Brit. Fl. belongs to this spe- 
cies. Ray quotes Ger. 454. not Ger. Emac. 569.; the latter is probably H. gla- 
bra; the former is much like H. hirsuta. 
Near the Lizard Point, Cornwall. Ray. I have specimens from thence 
through the kindness of Mr. Borrer. 3.
