Haworth (Hev. , p. 98) states that this ancient species v/es 

 sent to him with others in 1819) from ^xford Botanic G^.rden, and 

 that there is ever-"" reason to surnose that the^rlants ere legi- 

 timate descendants of the Sherardian stock at -^Itham (i.e., the 

 Plants figured by Diiienius). Of all the slants ^illenius figured, 

 "--. serrf'tum alone is lost; all the others are now alive before 

 the author." Fpom this statement it may be assumed that his 

 -"iscellanis . n, ^2, hovrever, he described the flowers of this 

 species as mostl7f sessile, and those of a variety ( to which he 

 does not x?ive a name) as havin*? a "short trigonmous pedicel.

 them -"'ith distinct pedicels. The variety breve, iic,^?^^ I
