Light gr. smooth without pubescence 9-18 in. high widely 
branched dichotomously upwards only, the upper branches 
especially of the cymes tine and slender angular but not winged, 
scabrous with a few minute subrecurved spinules at the angles. 
L. narrow, the upper ligulate or linear acuminate and pecti- 
nately inciso-toothed or laciniately subpinnatifid at the base 
only, the rest entire and more or less acute. Corymb loose 
widely divaricate, the fl. loose and few together (instead of 
congested) in remote small cymes, with a single fl. in the 
forks ; the branchlets and pedicels slender, simple fine not 
winged or thickened. Fl. “ flesh-col.” Hooker 1. c. Fr. (with 
beak or crown) 2-2| mill, long, 1 mill, broad; coppery or red- 
dish brown ; the dorsal midrib or stria often faint or obsolete 
and in any case not visible in ft ; the hairs incurved or crispate. 
Crown or cal. -limb erect distinct green and foliaceous not re- 
ticulate much narrower than fr. mostly |-toothed, the middle 
dorsal tooth produced acuminate 3-dentate with a short but 
distinct toothlet on each side, the 2 or 3 front teeth short irre- 
gular or more obscure. 
The var. ft is, according to Soyer-Willemet in Grenier and 
Godron, Valeriana mixta L. But the names mixta and dentata 
have been so variously applied by different authors that it is 
far better to set them both aside ; e. g. V. mixta DC., Bertol., 
Guss.= V. microcarpa Loisel., and the true V. Locnsta 8. den- 
tata L. = C. auricula DO. and not at all the present pi. 
3. V. puberula (Bertol.). 
St. branched mostly from the base and leafy ; branches of 
corymb stiffly many-forked, the ultimate divisions short stoat 
robust strongly alato-anyidar and thickened or dilated upwards 
smooth and even ; 1. mostly repand-toothed, the upper rarely 
pinnatifid or 2-3-inciso-toothed at the base; cymes close com- 
pact congested many -fid . forming a broad stiffly many-forked
