magis cum ea 4. sesamoidis convenit. Sed ab hac specie nostra 
planta pluribus adhuc gravioribus notis recedit, v. c. foliis 
anguslioribus, ut videtur, nunquam rosulatis, floribus mino- 
ribus, bracteis pedicello subaquilongis, demum reflexis, 
persistentibus, petalis 8-9-fidis, laciniis latioribus et brevi- 
oribus, ciliatis, d&equilongis, appendice versus lamine basin in 
marginem ciliatum producto, staminibus 12—414 (nec 7—10), 
tubo stamineo €t filamentis papillosis. Igitur plantam hanc 
pro nova specie agnoscere non dubito.
