 pinnate : leaflets usually twin, entire, bifid, or pinnate, oblong, 

 or linear, acute, quite entire ; racemes simple ; whorls 6-10- 

 flowered, distinct : floral leaves permanent, lanceolate, ovate, or 

 ovate-roundish, acuminated ; calyx ample, striated, villous :

 nective stretched out behind, dilated, antheriferous at both ends,

 Caucasus, and Armenia. Mirb. ann. mus. 15. t. 15. f. 2. S.

 S. Taurica, Habl. phys. beschr. taur. p. 207. S. pinifolia, 

 Pall. ind. taur. Stem pilose, or woolly, almost glabrous above, 

 and often purplish. Leaves numerous, sometimes almost gla- 

 brous, but usually canescent and pilose, with 3-4 pairs of seg- 

 ments, which are usually twin, or by threes, but opposite, and 

 therefore apparently somewhat verticillate. Corolla beautiful, 

 large, white. There is a variety of this with usually very nar- 

 row, almost glabrous leaves, and with the whorls all 6-flowered, 

 and sometimes 10-flowered and more. There are also varieties 

 differing in the size and form of the floral leaves. The S. Hab- 

 liziana is a more hairy plant, with broader leaflets than that 

 called S. scabiosaejolia in the gardens, whose leaflets are narrower 

 and nearly glabrous.

 leaves subcordate-oblong, very blunt, crenated ; calyx hairy ; 

 bracteas lanceolate ; stem herbaceous. % . H. Native of the

 the whorls. Leaves petiolate, wrinkled. Whorls distant, 6- 

 flowered. Bracteas shorter than the calyxes. Calyx large, 

 campanulate, veiny, membranaceous, with rounded segments.
