Billot, FJ. Gall, et Conn. Exsicc. No. 820. 
Root stock none. Stem paniculately branched or simple. 
Radical leaves in a rosette, oval-obovate ; stem-leaves oval, usu- 
ally very shortly connate at the base ; all sub-acute, 3-nerved or 
indistinctly 5-ncrvcd, flat. Flowers solitary, terminal and axil- 
lary, stalked, with 2 elliptical bracts a little way below the base 
of the calyx, arranged in a raceme or racemose panicle which is 
sometimes reduced to a single terminal flower. Calyx-tube cylin- 
drical, indistinctly 5-augled ; segments 5, triangular-strapshaped, 
rather shorter than the tube. Corolla-tube about one-third longer 
than the calyx, cylindrical, without hairs in the throat ; limb of 
5 roundish-oval obtuse lobes, about one-fifth the length of the 
tube, not ciliated. Capsule sessile or sub-sessile. 
On grassy places in mountainous districts. Rare. Between 
Craig Chailleach and Ben Lawers, Breadalbane, Perthshire ; and in 
Canlochan Glen, Forfarshire. I have gathered it only on the east 
slope of Catjaghiamcn, a little to the east of Craig Chailleach.

panicle, which is reduced in small specimens to a raceme. Calyx- 
tube obconical ; segments 5, slightly unequal, triangular or lan- 
ceolate-triangular, acute, rather longer than the tube. Corolla- 
tube longer than the calyx, fringed with hairs at the throat ; limb
