Legi in Pyr. septr. aurig. ad le Plà, die 31. Jul. 1845. Habui ex 
Arrens a Deville. Observavi inter Guetary et St. Jean de Luz, in valle 
d'Aure, ad Toulouse, ad Ustou. 
Vidi stamina ad stigmatum ora applicita, et vicissim: pistillus basi 
divaricatus: squamae minimae, vix apparentes, tubo corollae adpressae, 
sub staminibus positae, neque cum istis alternantes. 
Persoon, Desvaux, Withering, Besser, Soyer-Willemet, Smith, 
Hooker, Bertoloni, Baumgarten, Sonder, Noulet, Lestiboudois, aliique 
negant praesentiam squamarum hypostaminearum; forte quia in ex- 
siccatis plantis tantummodo inquisitas eas videre non potuerunt. Mallem 
hoe eredere, quam stirpem ab eis bene observatam eorumque speciem 
a nostra diversam, Bertoloni ultra adhue processit, ntpote qui asseruit 
C. europaeam Sturm, Rohling cum Mertens, et Koch, Reichenbach, 
spectare ad lusum C. minoris. Sed si nulla alia ratio penes eum fuit, 
quam praesentia illarum squamarum ab istis (Sturm excepto) indicatarum 
aut descriptarum, tunc illius sententia excidit fallaci innixa ratione. Hie 
opportuna eadit Babington observatio: « In the figure of C. europaea 
at t. 378. (of Engl. Bot.) and also in that given by Hooker in Fl. Lond. 
N. S. t. 67T., the scales are omitted, although they are always present in 
that species, and indeed it is probable that they exist in every species of 
the genus. In C. europaea they form an internal membranous transparent 
whorl, closely adpressed to the tube of the corolla; each being connected 
with its neighbour below, and terminating above in two long acute tran- 
sparent points » C. Babingt. Engl. Bot. Suppl. v. 3. n. 2850. Hasce 
squamas bene perceperunt R. Brown, Nov. Holl. ete. Pr. p. 491., 
Gaudin, Bluff et Fingerhut, Mertens et Koch, Ramond, Mutel, Cosson, 
Germain, Boreau, Godet, Callay, Delastre, Merat, Spach, Bromfield, 
cf. Babingt. Trans. lc. p. 213. et Man. Br. Bot. Nihilominus reperta 
dicitur Cuscuta, majori affinis squamis hypostamineis orbata, quam 
Pfeiffer C. Schkuhriana nuncupavit a Schkuhr, qui reapse Cuscutam 
quoad stamina, male delineavit in suo egregio opere Botan. Handb. 
t. 21., nomine C. europaeae. 
- Cum hae Sehkuhrii. figura altera jungitur Flor. Dan. (t. 199.) quae 
item squamas non offert sub sua putata specie a Pfeiffer, et cujus 
est synonymon QC. Epitriphyllwn Bernh. Sed haec omnia flocci facienda 
esse comprobavit Engelmann, sustinens nullam dari Cuscutam squamis 
hypostamineis orbatam; cf. et Reichenbach Icon. C. 28. p. 86., et 
videas, declaratum a Kirschleger, C. Schkuhrianae nomine a Wirigen, 
cum eo communicatam squamas, adhue solemniores prae vulgatiori 
forma, ei obtulisse, FI. Als. p. 527. sub C. Viciae Schultz. In indi- 
viduis Pyrenaeis a me observatis squamas palmatas vidi, quales eas 
exhibent Reichenbach, Mutel In stirpe anglica eas bifidas describit, 
et figurat Babington; varias, bifidas, quadrifidas, multifidas vidit Kirsch- 
leger in duobus formis a se observatis, et varias delineavit Germain, 
variasque describit Dorner in Linnaea V. 35. (1861-8.) ps. 141-8. 
Gemmis saepe sese propagare, et inde perennem esse plantam co- 
gnoverunt Benvenuti, et Decaisne; iste sententiam suam mecum, de 
re rogatus, naviter sustinuit, Parisiis, die 3. April 1862,
