When the name of a subspecies or variety is followed by that 
of its author in brackets, this implies that it was published by 
him as that of a species. 
When the sign 1 follows the name of a pla?it, it points to the 
fact that some doubt exists as to the identification. 
KEYS TO GROUPS AND SPECIES. 
1. General Key to armature of Stem and Panicle. 
Groups I. to VII. and IX. — St.-prk. equal or subequal, 
almost or quite confined to the angles. Glandular and acicular 
development absent from Group I. (except occasionally in the 
form of sessile and rarely subsessile gl. on st.), very rare in 
Groups II. and III., in the succeeding groups gradually 
increasing.
