often minute or disguised in form. 



c. Throat of corolla spotted violet. 



22. punctita, Lam. {Cnibilis, Lindl.). Named from 

 the spotted corolla, the purplish spots being inside and 

 showing through faintly in the fresh fl. but more plainly 

 in the dried specimen. Height 1 ft. : stem with longer 

 and looser hairs than in C. alliaricEfolia : upper Ivs. 

 nearly sessile, and more sharply toothed than the lower: 

 calyx-lobes one-third as long as the corolla, longer, looser 

 and hairier than in C. alliari(V folia, and the margins much 

 more recurved : peduncle 1-4-fld. : fls. nodding; corolla 

 cylindrical, 2K in. long, white, spotted within, strongly 

 ribbed. Siberia, Japan. C. nobilis has been considered 

 distinct. In F. S. 3: 247 the corolla is dark violet with-

 Savoy. B. M. C588.-No white-fld. form is known. Int. 

 into Eng. about 1879 by G. Maw. "It is an excellent 

 rock-plant, and, though requiring plenty of moisture, it 

 should have a well-drained position, and is therefore 

 best grown in a narrow crevice filled with sandy loam 

 and an abundance of small stones and grit."— J^. W.

 8:788. Gn. 48, p. 297.-There is a white-fld. form, but ap- 

 parently no purple. Readily told from G.Allionii by 

 the different colored, bearded and smaller fls., which 

 are rarely borne singly, and by the dense, soft hairs of 

 the stem. Commonest species in the Alps. "In the 

 rock-garden it should be grown in poor, stony soil, as it 

 is apt to become somewhat coarse when grown in rich
