My specimens are glabrous caespitose and bear rather long flowers, 

 the corolla varies from 7'"'" to 14"'"' in length. They are very like G. 

 damascf'tia Bois. et Gail). {G. raespitosa Hausskn., of which I have seen 

 the original specimens), but have not the long pedicels of this species, 

 and the ovary is more truncate, the style a little shorter and somewhat 

 clavate. There are short sheaths at the base of the stem. On the other 

 liand Ihc ovary agrees with the description of Regel („apice trunratuni").
