flowered varieties he had in view, for it is prepos- 
terous to distinguish them as separate species.

tus 8. Bot. Mag. 32. 1300. Segments tortuous,

Segments of the limb ovate-lanceolate, flatter,

Mr. Haworth says that he saw in 1831 at Young’s 
Nursery at Epsom. 
There is a double-flowering variety of Ajax Moschatus in 
cultivation, of which the root is communicated to me by 
Mr. Penny, but I have not seen the leaf or flower. Haworth 
refers it to Parkinson’s lesser variety. It is represented in 
Sweet’s Br. fl. g. ser. 2. v. 2. 101.

a variety with the cup ^ of an inch longer and

Haworth, but not worth distinguishing.
