11. FIs clustered in whorls in the axils of the upper Is 
and at the top of the stem.—Pasturages, wood-edges; 
distrib. 7, 8.cruciata L, 1521. 
— FIs either solitary or 2 together in the axils of the upper 
Is, or in pairs at the top of the stem, or in racemes 
or panicles on a branchy stem .... 12 
12. Cor. campanulate-club-shaped, enlarged above . 13 
— Cor. with a rotate limb and cylindric tube, almost of 
the same thickness in every part. Stem 2—10 cm 1(> 
18. Stem 15 — 75 cm, gen. several- or many-fld (also, in dwarf 
pis, few- or 1-fid). Rad. Is 0. . . . . 14: 
— Stem 2—5cm, always 1-fld; fl. very large. Rad. Is in 
a rosette. Type of G. acaulis .... 15 
14. Ls oval-lanceolate, long-acuminate.—Woods and marshes; 
especially of the mount, and subalp., distrib., more 
common in eastern Switz.. but very rare in the Jura 
(Passwang, Vogelberg). 7, 8 . asclepiadea L. 1522.*) 
— Ls linear or linear-lanceolate, rather obtuse, the lower 
scale-shaped.—Marshy meadows; scattered. G 
Pneumonanthe L. 1528. 
15. Ls rather leathery, lanceolate or elliptic-lanceolate, acute 
or acuminate, the edges of the upper cauline slightly 
rough when seen through a lens. Cal.-lobes with broad 
bases, narrowed-lanceolate, erect. Sinus between the 
cal.-lobes gen. sharp. G. Clusii Perr. Song.—Alp., sub¬ 
alp. and Jura. 6 acaulis auct. 1524. 
— Ls softer and broader than in the last, elliptic or ellip¬ 
tic-lanceolate, rather obtuse or short-acute, edges of the 
upper caul, smooth. Cal.-lobes with rather narrower 
base, contracted, oval-lanceolate rather separated from 
the cor. Sinus between the cal.-lobes truncate, the 
membrane connecting the divisions of the cal. more 
developed than in the last. Throat of the cor. touched 
with green. G. Kochiana Perr. Song.— b. alpina Vill. 
Smaller form of the high Alps with scarcely any stem. 
(Fully, Camoghe.)-T-Alp. and Jura ( e. g. Chasseron); 6, 
sometimes with the last and then rather earlier 
excisa Presl. 1525.**) 
*) Varied according to Zollikofer: Ls crossed, fis more dense; and ls 
distichous, fls more distant. 
**) The true G. angustifolia Vill. (sabauda Boiss. Iteut. ?) on the lime¬ 
stone mountains of Savoy, also indicadet in Wall., is very nearly allied, but 
differs in the longer, narrower, and very shiny ls.
