[i glabricaulis Dal il st. 



A forma primaria omnium partium glabritie, marginibus foliorum prresertim apicem 

 versus subdense ciliatis diversa. Ceterum caule erecto, apice dense folioso, inferne radi- 

 cante, ut in f. primaria stolonifero, foliorum forma et nervatura nec non dispositione 

 amentorum cum f. primaria congruit. Glabritie foliisque dense atro-punctatis ad P. nigro- 

 punctatam accedit et ei affinitatem pr»3bet.
