the top.—b. hybrida L. PL more vigorous; ls broader, 
the lower oval.—Grassy places, hills; here and there 
(wanting in L.). 6, 7 . . . spicata L. 1686. 
— Lower bracts differing little from the upper caul, ls, 
the separation of the inflorescence, therefore, less marked.

undiv. in dwarf pis) ...... 10

mature) rather dense. Capsule broader than long, com¬ 
pressed. Seeds flat. PI. glandular (v. succulenta All.) or 
without glands.—Hills, grassy places; G. T. W. Y. U. 4

at the base. Seeds cup-shaped.—Fields; not everywhere

compressed, incised. Style long. Stem prostrate at the 
base and often rooting. Ls almost glabr.—b. nammula-
