lxi. OROBANcnACE^E. [ Orobanche. 
7. 0. amethystea Thuill. ( bluish B .) ; stem simple, sepals 3 — 9- 
nerved ovate below suddenly contracted into 1 — 2 subulate 
points, corolla tubular bent suddenly near the base and curved 
forwards then straight, lips unequally acutely denticulate 
wavy with branched veins, upper concave emarginate or 4-lobed, 
lobes of lower lip unequal middle one the larger, stamens in- 
serted in the curvature of the corolla hairy at the base within 
glabrous above the middle, style nearly glabrous, lobes of stigma 
(purple) divaricate. Hore in Phytol. ii. p. 239. 0. Eryngii 
Duly. 
Parasitical upon Daucus maritimus, at Whitsand Bay, near Ply- 
mouth. O? (Hore) or 7f (Reuter). 7. — We have not seen speci- 
mens, and have taken our character from Mr. Hore’s description, 
between which and that by Reuter there are some points of difference ; 
and on the Continent the plant seems confined to Eryngium campestre 
and maritimum. We fear it is too closely allied to 0. minor, from 
which it appears only to differ by the curvature of the corolla, and 
the divaricate lobes of the stigma. Mr. Borrer (in the Bot. Gazette, 
ii. p. 96) states that Mr. Hore considered living plants of the true O. 
minor from Sussex to be identical with his plant. 
8. O. Hederce Duby ( Ivy B .) ; stem simple, sepals 1-nerved 
ovate below suddenly contracted into 1 — 2 subulate points 
nearly as long as or longer than the tube of the corolla, corolla 
tubular curved, limb denticulate wavy, upper lip 2-lobed its 
sides straight, lower of 3 roundish nearly equal lobes, middle 
lobe rather the longest, stamens inserted above the,base of the 
corolla glabrous with a few scattered hairs on the lower half, 
style glabrous downy or with a few hairs on the upper part, 
lobes of the stigma (yellow) cohering to near the middle. 0. 
barbata Bab. in E. B. S. t. 2859. 
Parasitical upon ivy in the south and west of England and Wales, 
Leixlip and Muckruss Abbey, Ireland. !£. 6 — 8. — M. Reuter de- 
scribes the insertion of the stamens to be only a little below the 
middle : we find them much nearer the base ; so that this character 
may vary in different specimens. This is best and chiefly distinguished 
from the last two by its yellow stigma cleft only two thirds down 
instead of to the base. 
** Bracteas 3 under each flower. Sepals 4 — 5, all united at the base 
into a tubular calyx. Anthers glabrous or woolly only on the suture. 
Valves of capsule separated at the apex. Trionychion. 
9. O. arendria Bork. (Sand B .) ; stem simple, calyx 5-toothed, 
teeth triangular subulate shorter than the tube of the corolla, 
corolla tubular nearly straight, middle of the tube compressed 
at the back, throat slightly inflated, upper lip cloven, lobes of 
the lips obtuse reflexed at the margin, suture of the anthers 
hairy, style glandular-downy, stigma scarcely 2-lobed. Phe- 
lipsea Walt. : Reuter.
