1 88 JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
Rare in cultivation. Mr. J. Wood, of Boston Spa, has it 
(collected in the Pyrenees) ; and, by the kindness of correspondents. 
Fig. 105. — 5. hirsufum Allioni. 
I have received specimens collected in southern France, Portugal, 
and the Pyrenees. 
Several of the floras {e.g. Rouy and Camus, Wilkomm and Lange) 
describe the flowers as purplish or red ; in all the specimens I have 
seen they were china white. 
The name has reference to the hairiness which is so conspicuous 
a character of the plant. 
Var. baeticum Rouy. 
Rouy in Bull. Soc. Bot. de France, 34, 441, 1887 (as sub-species). 
Praeger in Journ. of Bot. 56, 150, 1918. 
More robust than the type, very glandular-hairy in all its parts, 
pale green in colour, flowers half as large again in diameter, petals oval 
rather than oblong-lanceolate, carpels broader. 
The plant from which the above description is taken was collected 
in Southern Spain a few years ago by Miss Luckham, and sent to 
Wisley. It agrees with Rouv's description of var. baeticum in all 
points save that in that form the flowers are a little larger, and the 
petals multinerved.
