352 Eleonora Armilage. 
yellow flowers are borne on narrow branched panicles, a medium 
branch being 4 cm. long. The corolla has four broad lobes, very 
shortly pointed, the lobes patent or directed slightly forward. The 
flowers in all forms are proterandrous ; the gynaeceum is bilocular 
with one ovule in each loculus, and in this Species the ovules in each 
cell were fertile. 
No. 5. Galium Mollugo L. The stem has four marked wings. 
The leaves are about 6 in a whorl, short, 12 mm., broadly oblong, 
mucronate, surface flat, shining, with forward prickles on the 
margin. The large long-hranched panicle has its middle branches 
about 20 cm. long ; the corolla has four oblong lobes with pro¬ 
longed pointed apices, reflexed, pure white ; both cells of the ovary 
are usually fertile, but one is sometimes aborted. 
Of the three hybrids, A most nearly resembles G. verum; C 
most nearly resembles G. Mollugo ; while B is just intermediate 
between the two species. 
No. 2. Hybrid A. Stem with four obscure angles ; leaves 7 
to 9 in a whorl, linear, inrolled, rather longer than those of G. verum 
(24 mm.), broader, with forward prickles on the edge, upper surface 
dull and rugose, with prickles. Panicle rather larger and more
