The type-specimens of C. comatum are in Herb. Mus. Paris., an 
are without doubt identical with the Turkish specimens labelled 
“ Cerastium pilosum” which Castagne sent to Seringe. The former 
were from Calvi, in Corsica (ef. Soleirol, Pl. de Corse, n. 1007). Th 
name of ‘ C. pilo ilosum ” has been applied to so many different pe 
that, to avoid needless confusion, it is not desirable to use roe 
varietal name 1e species now recognized as C. pilosum is & 
Siberian plant. The Kew copy of the volume in which C. siuiieoe 
is described is imperfect, and ends at p. 147; this probably accounts 
for its omission from the Index Kewensis. e Corsican specimens, 
which may be considered the type of this variety, differ from the 
normal form of C. Iilyricum in the following characters :— 
aulis 4-8 centim., ramis rectis brevibus, internodiis plerumque 
eetiidttis Dichasium contractum rectum ; pedicelli fructiferi calyce
