102 SYSTEMATIC ARRANGEMENT OF THE SPECIES 
shorter pedicels, with two or three sterile bracts; the uppermost ones are commonly quite short and bractless, 
Flowers 13-1} lines long; anthers almost sessile a little below the throat ; scales very indistinct, consisting mostly of 
two slight ridges converging towards the base of each anther ; stigmas of the length of the style and scarcely thicker, 
oval and compressed ; capsule about 3 lines long; seeds 1} lines in diameter.

Griffith ! 682 & 684. — Vahl’s description, “dentibus corollz lanceolatis,” etc., does not exactly agree 
with our plant, nor is Sibthorp’s figure, Fl. Greec. t. 257, very correct; but the locality of the former and an authentic 
specimen of the latter (in Hb. Jacq.) leave no doubt that both had the plant in view which I formerly distinguished 
as CO. astyla. — The inflorescence is a oe spike, consisting of a terminal and several lateral cymes of 2-3 or 4 
sessile flowers ; the lowest cymes open first, and are sometimes branched. Flowers 14-1} lines long; corolla 
1-1} linesin length ; lacinie oval or orbicular, very obtuse, delicately crenulate, erect, scarcely more than half as long 
as the tube, which i is entirely enclosed in the calyx; anthers ovate or triangular-ovate, cordate at base, almost sessile a 
little below the throat; scales attached to the middle of the tube, of the shape of a horseshoe, forming a narrow 
denticulate or slightly fimbriate border, which is sometimes truncate or even bifid ; style very short, equal in length 
to the subglobose 2-lobed stigma, much shorter than the oval or globose ovary ; capsule 2-3 lines long, usually oval 
and obtuse ; seeds rarely more than 2, ovate, strongly rostrate, slightly rough. — Mon. Blancheana, DesM.! in litt. 
is a form with a somewhat elongated conic capsule, which occurs in Syria and Georgia, and which approaches the 
next species. 
72. C. LeHMANNIANA, Bunge! in Lehm. Rel. in Mem. Sav. Et. VII. 396. — Bokhara, on the banks of the Jan- 
Darja, A. Lehmann ! — Flowers pedicelled in a thyrsoid inflorescence, slender, 24-23 lines long ; corolla 2-2} lines in 
length ; lacinie oval, crenulate, shorter than the tube, erect or spreading ; scales horseshoe-shaped, attached to the 
middle of the tube, and covering the base of the ovate-cordate anthers, which are sessile below the throat ; style 
munch shorter than the oval or subglobose ovary, of the length of the distinctly 2-parted oval stigma; capsule 
oval. The shape and proportion of the corolla is similar to that of the next species, especially of its Asiatic 
form ; the pistil is like that of the last species ; the position of scales is quite peculiar. I class with this a form from 
Asia Minor 
Var. 8. ESQUAMATA : pedicels as long as, or often longer, than the calyx ; oblong lobes of the corolla still more 
distinctly crenate, not much shorter than the tube, spreading, on the fruit erect or twisted ; anthers still shorter ; 
- almost entirely adnate, commonly showing only a denticulate crest on both sides ; stigma globose or oval, almost

Gerenday! and to central Russia, Kasan, Graff ! — Flowers subsessile, or on at last slightly elongated pedicels ; cymes 
forming elongated spikes, or sometimes more or less compound racemes, which are always terminated by a 
2- or 3-flowered cyme; flowers 2-2} lines long ; lobes of calyx oval, obtuse or almost pointed, half as long as tube of 
corolla ; lacinie oblong, obtuse, erect, half as long as tube; anthers oblong-linear, sessile below the throat ; scales 
short, attached to the ee er part of the tube, bifid or reduced to lateral crenulate wings ; ovary oval, conic, attenuated 
into the slender style, which is much longer than the globose or oval deeply bilobed stigma. Capsule conic, 3-4 lines 
long ; seeds triangular-oval, rostrate, 1}-14 lines long. 
ar, 8. Astatica: flowers often longer and more slender, on longer pedicels ; lacinize more erenulate and 
somewhat spreading ; anthers on short but distinct filaments ; scales see broadly oval, fimbriate and somewhat 
incurved. @. flava, Siev. ap. Pall. probably belongs here. —On Tamarix, Saliz, ete., from the banks of the Wolga,
