336, 7. G. obliquum, I^''. E. Bp. — ''^is seems very similar to G. 



latum; the leaves are represented as of the same shape and arran- 

 p-ement, but rather narrov.'er, and the car'su? e is much smaller and 

 lees raided at the tor^. '^illenius and Har7orth considered it dif- 

 fe^^ent, and the latter (under -'. linn'ueforme) states that it 

 differs "^rom V-. latum in the younP'est leaves being ascending, more 

 unenual and more hooked-incurved at the apex, '^he pedicels are 

 about ^ in. lon<?, thickened upvrards, angular. Sgpf,]_s ciliete on 

 the keel. Gorolla 2 to nearly 5 in. in diameter, v/ith the petals 

 bright yello"' inside, whitish-yellov.- on the back. 1'he capsule, 

 according to ^illenius's figure, is about 5 lines in diameter, 

 and flattish at the tip.
