This plant, of which we have in the Herbarium good specimens 
from Miller, is referred by Mr. Williams to D. Carthusianorum 
ferrugineus Williams, while Dr. Gtirke (Pl. Europa, ii. 857) 
retains it as a distinct species. Caruel (M/ora Italiana, ix. 254) 
has placed D. Sala atl nd D. Gulie Janka as synonyms of | 
D. Carthusianorum $ Gul
