A very distinct species of the group PrimuHnae in the section 

 Eumecotwtms, but with flowers of a much paler blue than id any 

 of the other species of that group. With M. land folia it agrees 

 in having 4-petalled flowers and raceme-like cymes, the other 

 three species of the group normally having simple scapes. J?rom 

 all the other species of the group M. For rest, i differs in having 

 no style. But while this is the case the stigma is oblong and the 

 stigmatic rays are decurrent ; in the other species with sessile 

 stigmas so far known (if. mtegrifolia and M. ^""«» !*~ l 9 

 Grandee ; M. Oliveriana; group GMidomfohae) the stigma is 

 depressed and the stigmatic rays are radiating.
