distinguishable even in the living plant. It seems not improbable 
that this is the C. obscurum Chaubaud (Fl. Agen.), but French 
specimens of that plant have the fruitstalks mostly bent just 
under the calyx, which I do not find to be the case in our plant, 
whose stems also are much more branched. I have therefore 
retained the present name. C. pumilum (Koch) in St. 64. 12. ap- 
pears to represent C. obscurum, and C. tetrandrum (Koch) in St. 
64. 15. is probably C. atrovirens. — On sandy places and rocks 
near the sea. A. V. — VII. 
5. C. pumilum (Curt.) ; I. ovate-lanceolate, sep. lanceolate 
acute with the apex and margins narrowly membranous, bracts 
herbaceous with an extremely narrow membranous margin, caps, 
slightly curved upwards longer than the calyx, fruitstalks scarcely 
longer than the calyx reflexed. — Curt. Lond. 2. 92. — St. branched 
at the root, afterwards nearly simple, prostrate, or ascending. 
Fl. in small terminal dichotomous coryynbs. Distinguished by its 
reflexed fruit, short fruitstalks and membranous apex of the se- 
pals. It is possible that this and the preceding and C. obscurum 
(Chaub.) may prove to be forms of one species, but after long 
study of the plants I am not yet convinced that such is the fact. 
Their difference from C. semidecandrum will be at once seen. — 
Near Croydon, Surrey. Mr. Dickson ! A. V. ? E. 
6. C. tetrandrum (Curt.) ; I. elliptical-oblong the uppermost 
ovate or nearly orbicular blunt, sep. lanceolate very acute attenu- 
ated upwards their sides broadly membranous and apex with a cen- 
tral nearly excurrent herbaceous line, " caps, a little longer than 
the calyx straight, fruitstalks elongated reflexed." — Cu. ?. Lond. 
6. 30. — Fl. large, from the forks of the stem. I have been un- 
able to detect bracts unless the broad round upper leaves are to 
be considered as representing them. Distinguished by its reflexed 
fruit and the herbaceous line extending from the end of the green 
part of the sepals to their extreme point. — Tynemouth and Shet- 
** Root truly perennial, with prostrate leafy shoots. Pet. longer 
than the calyx. 
7. C. alpinum (L.) ; hairy, st. ascending, I. ovate ovate-oblong 
or lanceolate, fl. few, sep. bluntish with membranous margins, 
bracts herbaceous their margins often narrowly membranous, 
caps, at length twice as long as the calyx. — E. B. 472. Koch in 
St. 64. 3. — Pubescence long, silky. St. mostly simple, elongated, 
prostrate or ascending. Fl. 1, 2 or 3 together, in a forked pa- 
nicle, shorter than their stalks. Bracts with slightly membra- 
nous margins. — £>. piloso-pubescens (Benth.) ; pubescence short, 
bristly, st. branched, fl. usually solitary, bracts often wanting or 
with scarcely any membranous margin. C. latifolium (Sm.)
