shortly stalked, and in much denser and thicker spike-like racemes ; 
the calyx-segments broader at the base ; the corolla larger, yellow ; 
the 2 lower stamens with oblique anthers. 
Growing with V. Thapsus and V. Lychnitis. Said by Hudson 
to be everywhere in Kent ; but I have only gathered it at Green - 
street Green and other places about Darenth, Kent, where I have 
seen it repeatedly.

Intermediate between V. Thapsus and V. nigrum. It differs 
from the former in the stem being paniculatcly branched, angular 
above ; the radical leaves being abruptly narrowed into the 
petiole ; the intermediate leaves sessile, and the upper ones only 
slightly decurrent ; and all with the felt of hairs less dense ; the 
flowers in interrupted spike-like racemes ; the calyx-segments much 
narrower, strapshaped-lanceolate, the flowers not concave ; the 
stamens all witli purple hairs ; anthers all transverse ; the capsules 
small, and some of them with a stalk as long as themselves. 
From V. nigrum it differs in the stem being more branched ; 
the lower leaves not cordate at the base ; the upper leaves shortly 
decurrent ; the flowers on shorter pedicels ; the calyx-segments 
broader ; the 2 lower stamens hairy only on one side.
