Stems sparingly branched or simple 3-5 feet high, 2-3 in. thick at base; 



radical and lower cauline leaves petioled 6-18 in. long; cymes lax-fid. 1-2 feet long

including style, 11-2 in. 



Except for the more branching habit, the smaller amount of gross pubescence 



and the smaller flowers in TAB. typica there is nothing to separate the two varieties 



•wl ich pass into each other by many intermediates and are only sustained here in 



Older the more easily to explain the somewhat complex synonymy which has arisen
