probably distinct, has the lower leaves oblong, upper lanceolate, 
wings of the cal. elliptical apiculate, their lateral nerves mostly 
rejoining the central nerve near the apex and with numerous ana- 
stomosing branches externally, central nerve usually quite simple. 
L. much larger and tt. deep blue. — Dry pastures. P. VI. — IX. 
Milk-wort. 
2. P. calcarea (Schultz) ; lower I. larger obownte obtuse, upper 
I, lanceolate, fl. crested, wings of the calyx oblong not mucronate : 
the lateral nerves distinct from the central nerve at the apex all 
branched, caps, obcordate-orbicular sessile, lateral bracts shorter 
than the pedicels. — P. amara (Don) E. B. S. 2746. — The cen- 
tral as well as the lateral nerves of the wings branched, the 
branches sometimes slightly confluent but the lateral nerves never 
rejoining the central oue although very rarely they anastomose 
with an oblique branch of it. Fl. blue. — Chalk hills of the

1. Tamarix. Cal. 4 — 5-parted. Pet. 4 — 5. Stam. 4 — 5 or 
8 — 10, inserted in a hypogynous ring. Styles 3, patent. 
Seeds affixed at the base of the capsuie : coma or down of 
simple pappiform hairs arising from the apex. 
1. Tamarix Linn. 
+ 1. T. anglica (Webb); 1. glabrous somewhat narrowed at 
the base (spurred?), hypogynous ring 5 angled narrowed into 
the filaments of the cordate shortly apiculate anthers whose cells 
diverge below, caps, roundish trigonous at the base abruptly 
narrowed towards the apex. — T. gallica E. B. 1318. — St. 
shrubby, with slender leafy branches. L. minute with a loose 
spur at the base ?. Spikes lateral, somewhat panicled, slender, 
Fl. small, pink. — In T. gallica the 1. are broader at the base, the 
ring has 10 obtuse lobes with the filaments between them, the 
anther a much longer point and the caps, gradually narrowed 
from its base. See paper by Mr. P. B. Webb in Hook. Journ. of
