Not n in previous or subs quent editions of the catalogue 
Schleicher collected the specimens in the Alps of Sav he 
specim ringe are referred to in the Prodromus under 
he name of C. ovatum var. filiforme, with the note, “an species 
propria?” These are certainly identical with authentic specimen 
of C. pedunculatum, described by Gaudin in 1828. But the latter 
name cannot be displaced, as C. filiforme in Schleicher’s Catalogue 
is not read by any diagnosi is.

Journ. Bot. iv. 269 (1814). This is C. glomeratum, as given in Index 
Kewensis, not C. triviale as stated by Mr. B. L. Robinson in his 
Revision of the N. American Alsineew. The description as extrac 
by Desvaux from a tract, of which no copies appear to be obtainable, 
is as wsttore star —* Villosité roussitre ; tige droite anguleuse; feuilles
