Forskahl, which is unknown to us. We have called it Plantago 
SETOSA. Plantago foliis linearibus planis utrinque marginibusqut

Hypericum proslratum, glabrum; floribus terminalihis trigynis 
subcorymbosis ; calycis dentibus integerrimis margine glandulosis: 
eattlibus Jiliformibus brevibus; folitt cuneato-obovatis, punctaiis
