with cottony (iown ; the calyx remains blacker, and ihejiorets 

 more dusky than in G. rectum. I concur therefore with the most 

 eminent practical botanists, who have kept them distinct. In a 

 wild state, though the stem of G. sijlvaticum is often drav/n up, 

 to above the height of a footj among bushes, the spike remains as 

 compact, and nearly as short, as in the most exposed situations.

This may be known from the last by its many. flowered, punicled, 

 generally much taller, stem, but more certainly by the naked 

 and very smooth u})per side of its leaves, and their silvery under 

 surface. The calyr, though brown, has a blush-coloured rather 

 than black hue, and the//or6/i' are of a brighter yellow, though 

 in structure like those of G. sylvaticum. In generid G. rectum 

 is li or 2 feet high, copiously branched, with abundance of not 

 meh'g-dnt Jloivers ; thougii I have dwarf specimens from the Ha- 

 fod woods, Cardiganshire, not a foot in height, with the irj/lo- 

 rescenre as little branched as in G. sylvaticum. But the Jlotvers 

 are dispersed among the foliage, having their proper reddish 

 hue, and the upper surface of the leaves is smooth anrl naked, 

 while their backs, like the stem, are beautifidly silvery. These 

 specimens, accurately observed, cannot but remove all doubt. 



G. G. ,st/jji//f/jji. Dwarf Alpine Cudweed. 



Stem recumbent, quite simple, with a simple cluster of very 

 few flowers. Leaves linear-lanceolate, Si)mewliat cottony 

 on both sides.
