late acute ; 3 — 6-veined, hairy on the veins ; fruit-stalks 

 erect or patent, straight, longer than the globose-ovoid 

 capsules, which narrow gradually to their top and exceed 

 the calyx.

 Stem much branched, especially in its upper part ; flowers 

 from its forks or the axils of the upper leaves ; inner sepals with 

 3, outer with 5, not very strongly marked nor elevated veins ; 

 shorter than the capsule. Fruit-stalks once or twice longer than 

 the capsules. Capsule much inflated below, but narrowing gra- 

 dually to its top, hard and brittle when ripe. 



This seems to be the common plant in England. 



2 ? A. Lloydii (Jord.) ; leaves ovate, acute, roughish, sessile ; 

 petals shorter than the calyx ; sepals ovate, acute, 3 — 5-W6- 

 bed, hairy on the ribs ; fruit-stalks erect-patent, straight, 

 short ; capsules globose-ovoid, exceeding the calyx.

 This plant is exceedingly like the preceding, and probably not 

 distinct from it. I can detect no tangible difference except that 

 the ribs on the sepals are very manifestly much stronger and 

 more elevated. 



It grows in maritime districts on the continent. Mr A. G. 

 More found what may be it in the Isle of Wight. 



3. A. leptoclddos (Guss.) ; leaves small, ovate, acute, roughish; 

 petals shorter than the calyx ; sepals lanceolate, acute, 

 3-veined, hairy on the veins ; fruit-stalks patent, longer than 

 the ovoid-oblong capsules.
