328 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 



August," The reduction of C. ghttinosum to C. pumilum is due to 

 Babington (in Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. 1851), 20), and has been gener- 

 ally concurred in. By Willkomm & Lange (Prodr. h\ Hispanicse, iii, 



6S3), however, they are still kept distinct, though with misgiving 



" valde simile sed minus aut minime glanduloso-viscosuin.''' There 

 are Swedish specimens under this name in Herb. Kew. from Kigistatt 

 (Dr. A. P. Winsloio, 1879), Vishy (N. 11. Nihsou, 1822), and 

 Limhamn near Mahno (Murbeck, 1888). Fries gives its distribution 

 as S. Sweden, and founds the species on " Alsine glutinosa " of 

 Gesner's De stirpium nominibus (1557). 



135. C. glutikosum Hegetsch. Fl. Schweiz, 433, n. 1309 (1839). 



The title-page of this is dated 1840, but a MS. note in the Kew copy 

 states that the first portion was printed and issued in 1839. This is 

 no more than a glandular state of C. latifolium, — not even up to a 

 variety, as given by Gurke, PI. Europiese, ii. 227. No Swiss localities 

 are given, but it is stated to occur up to 2250 metres, and to be 

 founded on O. glaciale (in parte), Gaudin in litt. 1814, in Cand. 

 Prodr. i. 419,— which = G. uniflorum Murith, Guide Bot. Valais, 00 

 (1810). This last is well figured in Mr. H. S. Thompson's Alpine 

 Plants of Europe, 86, t. xiv. 6 (1911). He says it occurs in debris 

 of high siliceous Alps up to 3450 metres. 



130. C. glutinosum H. B. et K., Nov. Gen. Sp. Amor, vi p 23 

 (in fol. 1823), et p. 29 (in ed. in 4°).— There are five sheets of 

 specimens in Herb. Kew.,— from which the following description is 

 drawn up (omitting sectional characters) :— Subgen. Orthodon, Sect. 

 Cheileodontia. Perenne, villoso-pilosum, glutinosum, fuscescens. 

 Caules 4-5 dcm., adscendentes superne dichotome ramosi ; internodia 

 12-24 mm., ramorum floralium 40 mm.; sub inflorescentia non 

 geniculati. Folia 28 mm. long., mm. lat., suprema minora bractei- 

 formia, lanceolata angustato-acuta. Dichasium 3-9 florum. Pedicelli 

 10-24 mm., uniflori, flliformes, fructiferi erecti apice nutantes. 

 Sepala oblonga acuta, 2 interiora margine anguste diaphana. Petala 

 9-10 mm., oblonga biloba flabellato-nervosa, breviter unguiculata, 

 calycem superantia. Ovula circ. 25. Capsula membranacea, leviter 

 curvata, calycem duplo superans, dentibus 8-9 mm. Semina ferru- 

 ginea. 



Hab. Andes of Colombia : ridge of Asuay at 3900 metres ( Jame- 

 son, received 1865) ; Pasto, at 3400 metres (Voy. Triana, 1851-57) 

 Andes of Quito: at 4200 metres (n. 46) ; plains of Quito (n. 303) • 

 Quito (Jameson, 1845) ; Pilezhuir at 3750 metres. 



/3 glabratum nobis, var. nova.— Omnino glabratum. Bhizoma 

 magis lignescens. Dichasium ad unum florem reductum. Petala 

 paullum longiora, 10-11 mm. Capsula longior. 



Hab. Andes of Colombia: Sierra Nevada de S. Marta, at 3300 

 metres, close to the north coast (1844). Described from specimens 

 m Herb. Kew, marked " var. glabratum," without the name of the 

 collector.— Evidently a high alpine and reduced form ; much smaller 

 than the type. 



137. C. gnaphalodes Fenzl in Russegg. Beise, i. 929 (1843) 



Closeby allied to C. tomentosum. First known from Asia Minor and 

 Armenia. In Europe limited to Serbia.
