436' Mr. D. Don's Monograph of the Genus Saxif raga. 



elongatne, acutae, recto. Petala oblongo-spathulata, tri- 

 plinervia : nervis rectis, simplicibus. Genitalia petalis 

 breviora ; Jilamenta capillaria, lutescentia ; anther cb au- 

 reae. Styli erecti, staminibus breviores. 



I had an opportunity, while in Paris in August 1821, of ex- 

 amining several very fine specimens of this truly distinct species 

 in the Herbarium of the late M. Ventenat, now in the possession 

 of Baron Benjamin De Lessert. I take this opportunity, there- 

 fore, of acknowledging my thanks to M. De Lessert for his kind- 

 ness in permitting me to examine his extensive and valuable 

 collection. These specimens were collected on the Pedemontese 

 alps by Drs. Bellardi and Balbis, who communicated them to 

 M. Ventenat. The Count de Sternberg is of opinion, that the 

 ccespitosa of Wulfen is the same as this species ; but I am rather 

 inclined to think (judging from the description) that Wulfen's 

 plant belongs to S. exarata. 



95. S. moschata, pubescens ; foliis radicalibus trifidis ; surculinis 



trifidis indivisisve nervosis : segmentis linearibus acutius- 



culis, caule filiformi subracemoso, petalis anguste-ovali- 



bus calycem vix superantibus.
