 old; petals Hin. long, linear-oblong, obtuse, with 3 

 small cusps, keeled and finely glandular outside. Tran-

 Russia in Eu. As Koch points out in Flora 18, part 

 1:209, t. 1 (1835), the synonymy given by Linnaeus 

 undoubtedly refers to S. soboliferum, a 6-merous 

 species, but that the one plant Linnaeus cites and his 

 "habitat in Rutheno. D. Gmelin" undoubtedly refer to 

 the 12-merous plant which Besser knew under the 

 name <S. globiferum and which he, Besser, sent to Koch 

 in 1834.
