 Don. 1795. 



Perennial. June, July. 



Half the size of the last ; the herbage of a paler hue, and quite 

 destitute of viscidity. Leaves not fringed at the base. Fl. crowded 

 into a dense roundish tuft, bright rose-coloured. Border of each 

 petal cloven half way down, with 2 small protuberances, as Haller 

 says, rather than teeth, at the base. The capsule is stalked, and 

 I have certainly found 5 cells, with membranous partitions, as 

 in L. Viscaria; though in the Fl. Scot, it is otherwise described. 

 The styles are naturally 5, as recorded by Linnaeus in his Lap- 

 land Tour; though I find one flower on his own specimen with 

 3, agreeing with Fl. Lapp. There may, doubtless, sometimes 

 be 4, as mentioned in Willdenow, after -Sz/s/. Veg.ed. 13 and 14. 



4. L. dioica. Red or White Campion. 



Flowers dioecious. Petals cloven, crowned with four teeth.
