Rarely exceeding 2- 3 inches high, stout in proportion to its height, 

 very leafy j radical leaves small, lower cauUne leaves almost linear 

 obtuse. Cal. segments very long, in my specimens scarcely united 

 by a membrane as in the two other species, and as long as the

 Turner to vary in specimens he has seen, and I doubt if the plant 

 be really distinct from the E. Centaur iuin.
