prfedita. Capsula minutissima calycem sequans. Pedunculi aphylli, capsxüa 

 vix duplo longiores. Stipulée breves. Radix tenuis annua. 



Spergularia rubra ß leiosperma Fenzl in lib. Mus. Berol. (Lehmann 

 Rel. botan.). 



Spergularia salsuginea ß leiosperma Bunge, Linnœa VIII, 155 sec. 

 Walp. Rep. J, 83. 



Icon nosti'a tab. II, f. 12. 



Exs. Schimp. it. Abyss, sect. 2:da 1089 ("Spergularia nibra"). 



Hab. in canipis siccis Africce rarius v. c. in Abyssinia ad Debra 

 Eski [Schimper 1850 in Kb. lenormand et Mus. Berol^, ad Adoam [Schimp. 

 it. ab. sect. 2:da), in ^gypto {Olivier in hb. Mus. Berol.) ., Asice meridion. , 

 V. c. ad Novo Alexandi'owsk in deserto Uralensi [A. Bunge in hb. Berol.), 

 in Arabia petrsea {Boiss. in hb. Fries). 



Herba lutescens. Sepala baud maciüata. Petala lilacina, basin versus 

 paUidiora [v. sicc. sp.). 



Hfec species omnibus pœne partibus cum Lepigono salsugineo (Bunge) 

 convenit, sed seminibus Isevibus et floribus minoribus discrepat. Quam ta- 

 rnen notam ejus momenti habemus ut non possimus, quin banc speciem 

 seorsim propouamus. Si denuo in statu vivo examinata erit, forsan quis 

 notas plui-es inveniet. Non dum enim constat, formas ambas eodem loco 

 occurrere, nee ti-ansitum invenimus.
