 Bobart's long cut Crane's-bill. Petiv. H. Brit. t. 64. f. 8. 



In fields, or on dry banks, on a gravelly or limestone soil, spa- 

 ringly, in various parts of Britain. 



Annual. June, July. 



Root tapering. Whole herb slender, mostly procumbent, bright 

 green, clothed with small, rigid, close, bristly hairs ; those of 

 the stem and stalks pointing downwards, the rest upwards. 

 Leaves divided to the very base into 5 pinnatifid or cut,' lobes, 

 with linear, acute, rough segments, not at all soft or downy. 

 F/ower-sto/Ars axillary, slender, cloven about the middle, spread- 

 ing, thrice as long as the adjoining leaves and their footstalks. 

 Bracteas aggregate at the bases and forks of the flower-stalks, 

 awl-shaped, red. Fl. of a blueish rose-colour, larger than the 

 last. Cal. pyramidal, rough, strongly awned. Pet. sometimes 

 slightly notched, sometimes pointed. Anth. blue. Caps, keeled, 

 peculiarly smooth and even. Awns scarcely rough. Seeds finely 

 reticulated. 



Dillenius, in his edition of Ray's Sijnopsis, has applied the above 

 synonyms of Fuchsius and J. Bauhin to G. dissectum, commend- 

 ing that of Fuchsius ; but the slightest inspection will detect 

 his error. Ray's own synonyms, always the most correct, must 

 be sought in his 2d edition. 



13. G. sangidneum. Bloody Crane's-bill. 



Stalks single-flow^ered. Leaves roundish, in five or seven, 

 deeply separated, three-cleft lobes. Capsules even ; brisdy 

 at the summit. Seeds minutely wrinkled.
