57. C. casprrosum Gilib. Fl. Lithuanica, ii. 159 (1782), et 
Exercit. Phytol. i. 299 (1792) = C. triviale (lusus hirsutus). The 
description fits this species rather than C. glomeratum, as given in 
Index Kewensis, By Giirke, Pl. Europea, ii. 222 (1899), revived in 
58. C. cmsrrrosum Kit. ap. Kan. in Linnea, xxxii. 524 (1868). 
A name given by Kitaibel to some Hungarian n specimens, to which 
he applied the meagre note, ‘ Cerastio Szalaberensi simile, sed petalis 
calyce longioribus diversum,” which scarcely suffices to establish a

determination is probably correct, and Kitaibel’s phe oe therefore 
be reduced to C. arvense var. laricifolium Car. et St. Lag. Etude des

61. C. cmsprrosum Tr. & Planch. in Ann. Se. Nat. ser. 4, xvii.
