 amongst herbage (Wight}. Leaves ^-| in., petiole half as long or longer, subacute, 

 base founded, nerves few, serratures not ciliate ; stipules obsolete. Peduncle* terminal,

 specimens of/ anamallayensis are certainly identical with Goughii, and viscosa appears 

 to me to be a d fferpnt plant, with a long spur ; his figure of anamallayensts represents 

 a coarser plant than his specimen, with very hairy upper surface of the leaves, which, 

 however, he describes as having but few distant hairs: he further describes it in his 

 Icoues (not in the Madr. Jour.) as having a ligulate appendage to the wings, which is
