DIANTHUS. 
D. hirtus. See D. graniticus. 
D. hispanicus might possibly be D. pungens, L. It is a tuffet with 
narrow blunt glaucous leaves, erect or curling aside on the shoots, 
which are from 6 inches to a foot high, carrying each a lonely pink 
blossom with the edges almost smooth. From rocky barrens in the 
lower region of Eastern and Central Spain, &e. Widely variable. 
D. Hoelzeri is said to be a fine thing, of some 18 inches high, with 
pink flowers. It comes from Turkey and seems suspiciously rare. 
D. Holzmannianus. See under D. Carthusianorum. 
D. humilis, a most neat small mass with a multitude of finely 
delicate little one-flowered stems of 6 inches or so, each ending in a 
pink bearded bloom. Different from D. pallidiflorus and C. cam- 
pestris in its much shorter leaves and tuft of unbranched short 
stems. 
D. hungaricus (Clem.), a synonym of D. crinitus, q.v. 
D. hungaricus (Griseb.), a synonym of D. petraeus, q.v. 
D. hymenolepis. See under D. Carthusianorum. 
D. hypochloros is a beautiful little dwarfed alpine species almost 
identical otherwise with D. zonatus, growing only some 3 inches 
or half a foot in the high dry alps of Isauria. 
D. inodorus (L., 1753) is the only correct and valid name for the 
species universally beloved as D. silvestris (Wulf., 1786), q.v. 
D. integer (Vis., and also Balb.) is, strictly, the variety D. brachy- 
anthus of D. strictus, q.v. See the welter of rival names under D. 
alpester, Balb. It is common in gardens, under a general confusion 
of names at which no one can wonder. The form it takes with us is 
that of a neat dark-green tuft of fine leaves, with fine upspringing 
stems of 6 inches or so, each ending in a white flower not quite big 
enough for the calyx. Sometimes the edges of the petals are smooth, 
and at others more or less scalloped. They are never fringed or 
sharply toothed ; and may be pink, but are most usually white: in no 
Dianthus can the colour be held a diagnostic, and this group is 
even more variable in all respects than the rest. 
D. intermedius. See under D. Carthusianorum. 
D. Jacquemontii is quite close to D. Liboschitzianus, but the petals 
are more deeply toothed. 
D. judaicus=D. oxylepis, a useless weed. 
D,. juniperinus makes a neat hard blue bush of about a foot, with 
stiff and almost prickly foliage; and has several pale-pink flowers 
gathered together on each shoot. There is a larger and more graceful 
variety D. 7. Siebert, also called D. aciphyllus, which may possibly 
prove the original D. arboreus.
