8. C. uniflorum. Perhaps a new species? The only specimen in 
the collection has a thread-like root about ten inches long, bearing marks 
of absent fibres, but, in the present state, perfectly naked. From the 
neck of this root project whitish, filiform, subterranean stems, simple 
or dichotomous, with short internodes, each provided with a pair of 
small scarious leaves; the external stems arc furnished with a rosula 
of ovate and softly lanuginous leaves, and each stem has a solitary erect 
peduncle, with 2-3 pairs of remote and appressed hoary leaves, and a 
single erect flower, nodding in the fruiting stage. Stems very numerous. 
North Proven, 72°. 
Another form of C. alpinum , which may be the same as the pre¬ 
ceding, is rather smaller, with fewer stems and shorter scapes. The 
flowers are very large, with sepals terminating in a very acute membra¬ 
naceous point, and the petals deeply obcordate.
