O. ma Schott and Ky. It is a beautiful stranger 



from the nigh A | tdocia, on Gisyl Tepe, &c. at about 6000 feet, 



tawny all over with an abundance of bristlish hair, and closely tufted 

 with a great number of stiff little stems of 2 or 4 inches, rising from 

 the many-headed mass, which is furnished with narrow-oblong blunt 

 leaves, longish and rather rolled over at the edges, and with a con- 

 jub midrib on the under-side. The stems unfold at last into 

 showers of lai_ white bells, few to a spray.

O. polyprtyllum makes a sub-shrubby mass in the rocks of Southern

 which, further up, get looser and longer and rather tawny. The 

 stems are some 4 or 5 inches high in nature, and the flowers are large 

 and white.
