Perennial. June, Julij. 



Half the size of the hist ; the herbage of a paler hue, and quite 

 destitute of viscidity. Leaves not fringed at the base. Fl. crowded 

 into a dense roundish tuft, bright rose-coloured. Border of each 

 petal cloven half way down, with 2 small protuberances, as Haller 

 says, rather than teeth, at the base. The capsule is stalked, and 

 I have certainly found 5 cells, with membranous partitions, as 

 in L. Viscaria; though in the Fl. Scot, it is otherwise described. 

 The styles are naturally 5, as recorded by Linnaeus in his Lap- 

 land Tour; though I find one flower on his own specimen with 

 3, agreeing with Fl. Lapp. There may, doubtless, sometimes 

 be 4, as mentioned in Willdenow, aher Syst. Veg.ed. 13 and 14. 



4. L. dioica. Red or White Campion. 



Flowers dioecious. Petals cloven, crowned with four teeth. 

 Capsule of one cell.
