__ A stunted-looking plant, on 1 rocky ground spreading 
Flowers open at 10 a.m. Corolla one inch long, fennel aheha: 
tube dirty-yellow; limb faint lilac, with the throat marked by 
reddish spots extending to the base of all the segments except 
the anterior one, which is separated somewhat from the rest by 
— extending deeper down, stands more erect, is rather shorter, 
e stamens and style adpressed to it. Rarely there are 
six segments to the limb of the corolla, in which case one of the 
staminodia (of which there are two lateral and one very much 
smaller and posterior) develops an anther. J. Z. 8.
