In my Herbarium are specimens collected by Mr. Chas. 

 Packe from the ' Gartner Kofel, supra Hermagor Carinthiae/ 

 July 9, 1870. Alpen de Tropolaz by Dr. Lagger. "Vallich, 

 Carinthia, with no collector's name, from the Boswell (Syme) 

 collection ; and the specimens collected by Rev. A. H. 

 Melvill and Miss E. H. Melvill at the Gartner Kofel, July 

 27th, 1893. 



These places, Gartner Kogel, Kiihweger Alp, Vallich 

 Tropolaz Alp, Granitzer Alp, Friul, Pontebba, are all within 

 a very appreciable distance of each other, say 10 square 

 miles, and may almost be called at most two localities, both 

 in the same neighbourhood. The Italian boundary line is 

 not far S. of Hermagor, and Friul and Pontebba are just 

 below it.

these being again subdivided into twelve tribes. The tenth 

 in sequence, and the first of the series Rhinanthidece, is that 

 of the Digitalece, thus well characterized, the following being 

 a translation from the Latin : — 



RHlNANTHIDEiE. Leaves various. Inflorescence simply 

 centripetal. Lower lip or lateral lobes of the corolla 

 external in the bud. Stamens very rarely more than four, 

 often only two. 



Tribus X. Digitalece.
