124 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 



Plant small, compact, with no long straggling branches, with 

 many hairs, zb glandular, but no adhering sand. Stems short, pros- 

 trate. Leaves small, + bipinnatifid, finel^^eut, segments short, acute. 

 Peduncles 2-flowered, shorter than or slightly exceeding leaves. 

 Flowers small, about 7 mm. in diameter, rose-coloured ; petals un- 

 equal, unspotted, decidedly longer than sepals ; sepals it 7 mm. long. 

 Fertile stamens as in E. glutinosuni. Pollen yellow. Stigma jDurple, 

 Carpels 5-0'5 mm. long, very attenuate-stipitate at base ; pit small, 

 destitute of outer furrow ; twists of awn 5-7 ; beak 25-29 mm. long. 

 Compared with F. glutinosuni^ it will be seen that F. dentatum 

 di:ffers, inter alia, by its larger flowers with unequal petals and its 

 j)rostrate stems ; it is distinguished from F. ciciitarium agg. by its 

 fewer-riowered and shorter peduncles, carpel-pit wanting outer furrow. 

 Distribution. Belgium. Dunes of Flanders 1 Dumortier. — 

 Holland. Dunes of Zeeland, Dumortier. 



Although this species is as yet unknown in Britain, a description 

 seems desirable, as it probably occurs upon our eastern or south- 

 eastern shores which front its Continental habitats. 

 Peduncles 3-5-tlowered, longer. 

 3. E. neglectum nob. 



Plant either small and compact or more robust with elongated 

 bi*anches, copiously glandular with adhering sand-grains. Stems 

 prostrate-ascending, elongated. Leaves medium-sized, rather deeply 

 pinnatitid, segments + obtuse. Peduncles 8-5-tlowered, exceeding 

 the leaves. Flowers large, about 12 mm. in diameter, pale lilac ; 

 petals slightly but distinctly unequal, unspotted, exceeding the sepals ; 

 sepals zb 3*5 mm. long. Fertile stamens as in F. glutinosum. 

 Anthers claret-coloured ; pollen orange. Stigma pale claret. Car- 

 pels c. 5 mm. long, considerably attenuate-stipitate at the base ; pit 

 small, destitute of outer furrow^ ; twists of awn 4-5 ; beak glabrous, 

 20-22 mm. long. 



We have been reluctantly compelled to add a new name to the 

 many already in existence as we can find no description to fit this 

 plant, which may be concisely diagnosed as follows : — 



Planta dense glandidosa, ad F. glutinosum Dum. valde accedens 

 sed major, compacta vel ramis elongatis prostrato-adcendentibus. 

 Folia valde pinnatifnla, segmentis ultimis + obtusis. Pedunculi 

 Z-D-Jlori, folia excedentes. Flores circa 12 mm. in diametro, pallide 

 lilacini ; petala leviter inaequalia, immaculata. Fil anient a fertilia 

 suhdentata; antherie vinaceo-jmrpurese ; pollen aurantiacum. Stigma 

 pallide vinaceo-purpureum. Carpella sub apice cavo parvo instructa 

 sed sulco exteriore destituta ; rostrum 20-22 mm. longum. 



From many forms of F cicutarium this may be distinguished by 

 its deeply pinnatifid leaves, sub-dentate filaments, orange pollen, and 

 the carpel-pit lacking an outer furrow.
