lyagenophora maviensis forma emarginata f. nov. 



This form is generally a smaller plant with shorter scapes of 

 3-8 cm. in length. The flowers are often darker colored, and the 

 rays are emarginate, usually' conspicuously so. The common oc- 

 currence of small plants with entire rays, and the rare occurrence 

 of large plants with emarginate rays prevent the separation of va- 

 rieties. Forma emarginata looks very distinct when growing.
