CRITICAL NOTES ON SOME SPECIES OF CERASTIUM. 211 
70. C. Cavcasicum Fisch. ex Ser. in DOC. Bret i, 414 wacres 
nemorale var. glabrescens Ledeb. Fl. Ross 
original brief description is, ‘‘caule erecto aiahbtarsa,, Bee is 
elongatis, foliis caulinis lanceolatis glabris margine scabris, petalis 
Singha calycis glabri, capsulis pedicello pubescente breviori- 
In habit this glabetade variety is less branched, and the 
os less distinctly furrowed. 
7 . C, Caasstum Form. in Verhandl. Naturf. Ver. Brinn, xxxy.

Hab. Greece: Mt. Cuka, in the Chassia eather The spe- 
cimens I Giainiiad were not very different from C. pumilum 
. C, Cuitense Bartl. in Presl, Reliq. Haenk. ii, 17 (18 30) : 
= C, arvense var. Chilenum Williams. Rohrbach (in Linnea, xxxvii. 
304) ‘would consider this a form of typical C. reba differing only 
in the larger flowers, and in the calyx 8 m . long. Mr. 
Reed’s specimens from Valle del Fees (1873), in which the hairs 
are distinctly adpressed or reflexed, may properly be referred to this 
variety. ‘ Chilenum ” is a more correct Latin form of Chilean 
han “e ilense.’ 
nse var. Chilenum. Caules pilis reflexis deorsum fere

iv. ba 8 Dosueiber. 1837); Boiss. FL Orient. i. 719. A glabro 
annual, like C. perfoliatum, from which it differs in the aivariate

Al siatic Turkey: between Hamanli and Safranbol, in 
prov. of Anatolia; at Ispir, in prov. cel Erzeroum. 
4. C. cmsatum Turez. in Bull. Soc. Nat. Mose. 1838, 89

seepe inferne florigero-virgato-ramosi, unifariam hirsuti. Folia 
lineari- plans oblonga vel ovato-oblon Cyma subtrichotoma, 
dichasio no floro ; bracter apice late scariose. Calyx plerumque

Hab. Siberia: banks and islands of RB. Koksun, in the Altai 
region, and gravelly places on banks of R. Snicznaja, in Trans- 
baikalia. 
The type-specimens are no. 267 of Turczaninow’s Baikal plants. 
75. C. cmiatum Waldst. & Kit. Pl. Rar. Hung. iii. 250, t. 225 
1812). This sai represents Croatian specimens of C. arvense, 
which scarcely differ from the type in more than the less eowtd 
surface of the leaves; and this scarcely applies to the ca 
leaves. In fact, the plate is an excellent figure of the Lécdionn 
species, ;
