on sandstone, W. of Keynsham, N. Somerset, Aug. 27, 1933. 
Short, erect, non-flowering shoots not a foot high, with 
lanceolate leaves. — H. S. Thompson. An interesting small- 
leaved form of the variety. — C. E. Britton. Most often 
flowerless on dry land and cultivated fields, but can bloom 
where allowed to grow undisturbed in good soil. — J. Fraser. 
A well marked form with short petioles and rough hairs on 
the leaves. Can frequently be found in blossom. — I. M. Roper.
