The Sections established by Otth au sina Pro- 
dromus are far from being natural, dnd several 
species are repeated undet ent names in’ dif- 
ferent sections; but the Indian’ species are so few, 
that it may be more convenient to refer them to 
those sections than to establish new groups upon 
this occasion.

This is, I believe, an Asiatic species; or found 
only in south-eastern Europe. It is common in 
botanical gardens, but those authors who have 
mentioned it as growing “in Germaniz, Gallie 
arenosis,” have probably mistaken for it the larger 
specimens of §. conica. 
Sectio Stachymorpha,—Otth, l.c. 371.

; petalis euneatis bifidislonge ungui- 
pees adint, — Moorcroft. 
This species is allied to §. altaica, Pers. from 
which it differs by its shorter and-broadér leaves, 
and by the calyxes nearly as long asin’S. longiflora.
