Near L. fœniùm-gr cecum Hange and L. capülipes Hemsl., but 

 differs from the former in having very much smaller flowers, and 

 fr'om the latter, in having much larger calyx and herbaceous leaves. 

 The filaments of the present plant are connate forming a very short 

 tube, the stamens are opposite the petals, and the anthers are 

 opened by terminal pores facing outward, though they are, how- 

 ever, originally introrse.
