8. P. amblyophyllus C. A. Meyer (Beitr. z. Pflanzenk. des 

 riiss. Reiches. St. Petersburg 1849. 6. lief. p. 10). This species 

 belongs to the group Coleogeton and under this nearest to the 

 filiformis-gxoM^. Meyer says .,proxime ad P. pectinatum accedit" ; 

 several botanists take it for a form of P. filiformis, but the fruit 

 is different, and by the broad leaves, whose point is at least as 

 broad as the middle of the leaves, and by the short rigid ligulae 

 this species is sufficiently distingued from P. filiformis. — The 

 plant agrees perfectly with the original (fructiferous) specimens 

 from the museum of Helsingfors. — The localities indicated by 

 Meyer (Kasbek Kaukasus and Jahagan Altai) might make it pro- 

 bable, that P. amhlyophy litis were to be found in the Pamir.
