408 BULLETIN DE L'HERBIER BOISSIER (2e séR.). 1908 (7) 
The original description is, — ? Caule ramoso piloso, foliis linearibus 
’ aculis margine cilialis, petalis semibifidis vix calycem superantibus. ” 
It is a plant of quite different aspect from var. angustifolia, even the very 
narrow-leaved states of that variety, and is at once distinguished by the 
pubescent stem and leaves. Plant less hairy and flowers larger than in 
the Sardinian plant.

Var. 5 pubescens Cand. 1. c. (1805). 
Folia elliptico-lanceolala obovato-lanceolata vel obovato-oblonga, acu- 
minata, inferiora elliptico-ovata, margine aspero-ciliata. Petala alba vel 
rosea, Sæpe calyce parum longiora. 
The origin: iption i ses feuilles et le bas de sa tige sont 
garnis de pelits poils courts ”. The calyx is sometimes pubescent with 
the teeth stiflly ciliate; but in English specimens the calyx reems to be 
always smooth and glabrous. 
Cucubalus maritimus Lamk., Encyel. Meth. II. 220 (1786). -— The plant 
here mentioned is not S. maritima With. ; for both the Latin diagnosis 
(foliis cauleque villosis) and the French description (feuilles chargées de 
poils courts) show that it is this variety of S. inflata.

C. Antelopum Vest in Flora, I. 149 (14 März 1821). — ” A Cucubalo 
inflato diversus. Caulis scaber subsulcatus. Folia 25 mm. et ultra, lata 
ovato-oblonga, eliam sub dichotomia sat magna subtus scabriuscula 
insigniter glauca, internodia excedentia, summis dichotomiæ reliquis 
conformibus. ” The description is founded on specimens gathered on 
Mt. Baba, of the Carpathian range. The author says that the leaves are 
exactly like those of Polygonatum latifolium. By the native Ruthenes it 
is called ” skerpez ”, and is eaten by the chamois (hence the proposed 
specifie name).

Planta cæspites graciles formans, pumila, 1-2 dm. Folia brevia lata sub- 
rotundato-ovata breviter mucronata, margine incrassalo-durescente carti- 
lagineo serrulalo-ciliata vel denticulato- setosa. Petala calycem vix supe- 
rantia, subinclusa vel quidem inclusa, lobis brevibus angustis. Styli 
filiformes, apice leviter incrassali. Semina numerosa, faciebus concava, 
dorso planiuscula. 
Hab. The Pyrenees, on both the French and Spanish side, the Alps of 
France, Switzerland, and Italy, Mt. Velebich in Croatia, and the spur of 
the Dinaric Alps in Herzegovina. This form was first described from spe- 
cimens collected by Kitaibel on the mountains in the south part of Croatia. 
In Herb. Kew. there is a plant labelled ” S. inflata var. surculifera” from 
Gay, which he collected in 1809 on the Pennine Alps of Valais, above
