blotch without yellow border; segments narrowly ob- 

 long; filaments filiform, glabrous; stigmas broader 

 than ovary-diameter. Mt. Lebanon, 1889. Gt. 38:1300. 

 —Allied to T. linifolia and Maximowiczii.

 dulated 24. Armena 



bb. Lvs. very much undulated 25. platystigma

24 Armena, Boiss. Lvs. 5, crowded at base of stem, 



falcate, glaucous and glabrous, slightly undulated, long, 



ciliate on edge all around, longer than fl. -stalk: pedun- 

 cle glabrous, finely dotted, 

 perianth open campanulate, 

 slightly sweet-scented, 2 in. 

 long, dark scarlet with black 

 basal blotch margined all 

 around with yellow; inner 

 segments rounded, outer 

 acute; anthers purple; fila-

 bearded. — This species is 

 referred by Baker without 

 hesitation to T. Gesneriana, 

 but the plants in the trade 

 as T. Armena differ as indi- 

 cated above.
