pals oval, rounded at the summit. Petals all emarginate, the 
two lateral closely ciliated. Capsule downy. Leaves oval or 
oval-oblong, deeply heart-shaped; stipules lanceolate, acute, 
feebly ciliated, the glabrous cilia shorter than half the breadth 
of the stipule. Rhizome without stolons, thick, knotty, scaly, 
branched.—Plant more or less thickly covered with spreading 
hairs (velue-hérissée), leaves large or small, shorter or longer 
than the flowers, of which the earlier are commonly large and 
sterile, and the latter apetalous and fertile. 
Has. Woods and hillocks, very common. 
V. uirto-aLBa, Gren. and Godr. V. adulterina, Godr. these 
de ’hybrid. p. 18.—Flowers white, with a violet spur, inodorous. 
Sepals oval-oblong, rounded at the summit. Inferior petal 
slightly emarginate, the others entire or feebly emarginate: the 
two lateral closely ciliated. Capsule downy. Radical leaves 
deeply heart-shaped at the base ; those of the stem smaller, sub- 
reniform, not acuminate; stipules lanceolate-acuminate, glan- 
dular-ciliated. One or many lateral stems, procumbent, not 
rooting, bearing flowers in the first year of their development.— 
Plant more or less thickly covered with spreading hairs. This 
hybrid between V. hirta, L., and V. alba, Bess., grows in society 
with them. It has the appearance and the lateral stems of V. 
alba, and approaches V. hirta by its inodorous flowers and closely 
ciliated lateral petals.
