CHONANTHELIA | FRULLANIA. 29 
Obs. The perianths of Fr. subalpina are tetraquetrous, trapezoidal on 
the section, the antical face (which is much the broadest) being tripli- 
cate, and the other three faces traversed by a single medial fold, making 
the entire number of folds, or keels, ten, as in Fr. Arece and hians. Fr. 
arvetina, which has very rarely similar supplementary folds, differs 
essentially in the appendiculate leaf-lobule ; in other words the lobule 
is galeato-saccate in its upper half, while the lower half is a flat lamina, 
appended (as it were) to the sac. But in Fr. subalpina the lobule is 
sunply a galeate sac, with a truncate mouth, and no explanate 
appendage.

an specifice ? caracteribus sequentibus :— 
Folia minora subimbricata planiuscula, oblique cordato-oblonga-ovatave; 
lobulo lobo plus duplo breviore cucullato erostri, inferne in laminam 
brevem deorsum sensim angustatam protracto—raro galeato et fere 
eequaliter truncato. 
Foliola paulo breviora, plus duplo angustiora, ligulato-oblonga vel 
anguste cuneato-obvata—e medio margine utrinque valide recurvo 
ad speciem panduriformia, repanda, apice ad 4-1 alt. subacute bifida,

obpyramidatum, alte connatz foliis subduplo longiores, fere 
equaliter bilobe, lobis oblongis acute acuminulatis repandis, antico
