Hoary Rupture-wort. Pet. H, Brit. t. 10./. 10. 



In sandy ground^ rare.

Perennial. Jubj, August. 



Differs from the last in having the leaves fringed with strong ])ro- 

 minent hairs, as well as rough beneath, more or less, with simi- 

 lar, but shorter, hairs. Tlie calyx also is hairy, and the ston al- 

 ways rough. Haller says the Jiowcrs are fewer in each cluster, 

 and much larger in proportion to the leafj the bractcas xery 

 white. Possibly he might comprehend, under his n. 1553, //. al- 

 pina of Villars and Willdenow, though the Swiss ])lant, from Mr. 

 Davall, is really //. hirsuta. The late Mr. Stackhouse, wiio stu- 

 died our two Herniarice in Cornwall, was persuaded of their not 

 being specifically distinct.
