SCTIOI'HULAIUACETE. H<) 
Intermediate between V. pulvcrulcntum and V. nigrum. Differ- 
ing from the former in the stem and branches being more angular, 
often tinged with purple ; the leaves with less floccose pubescence, 
and the root-leaves distinctly and abruptly stalked, often cordate ; 
the flowers smaller, and the stamens with purple hairs. Prom 
V. nigrum it differs in the stem being paniculately branched with 
the branches curving upwards, the root-leaves being broader and 
less deeply cordate at the base ; the pubescence more loosely 
attached to the plant, and coming off in masses. 
At Ilellesdon, near Norwich, where it was refound by the 
Rev. Kirby Trimmer in 18G3, to whose kindness I owe living 
specimens : and in various parts of Norfolk occasionally, according 
to Smith.

Intermediate between V. Lychnitis and V. nigrum. Differing 
from the former in the leaves being abruptly contracted into long 
petioles at the base ; the hairs of the pubescence longer and less 
white, so that the leaves are scarcely hoary beneath ; the flowers 
yellow ; the stamens with purple hairs on the filaments, and the 
racemes more dense. From V. nigrum it differs in the stem being 
paniculately branched and more acutely angular above ; the lower 
leaves not being cordate, on shorter petioles ; the leaves more 
glabrous above, and with the pubescence beneath shorter; the 
panicle pyramidal ; the racemes more interrupted ; the flowers 
smaller ; the calyx more densely woolly with whiter wool. 
Found by Mr. Dawson Turner near Yarmouth ; and, according 
to Professor Babington, it has been found in Sussex. I have 
gathered it only at Green-street Green, near Darenth, Kent.
