Speciminibus authenticis examinatis persuasum habeo varietatem minimam a G. purpurascenti

3005. G. rosulata n. sp. 
Herba perennis, rigidiuscula, gracilis, pluri- vel multicaulis, erecta, circa 2—3 dm alta; caules rigidi, 
valde ramosi, plus minusve hirsuti vel interdum glabrescentes, efoliati; folia radicalia numerosa in rosulam 
densiusculam conferta, rigidiuscula-et crassa, late obovato-spathulata usque fere rotundata vel interdum 
pauca angustiora, cuneata interjecta, grosse dentata, in petiolum iis breviorem attenuata, petiolo addito 
circa 3.5—5 em longa et 1.3—2 cm lata, molliter appresse pubescentia vel margine et subtus subvillosa; 
caules perramosi inferne bracteas cuneatas, dentatas, virides, mox in formam linearem abeuntes gerentes, fere 
a basi paniculas amplas, rigidiusculas, laxe divaricatas vel patentes efformantes; flores pedicellati; pedicelli 
glabri vel insuper puberuli, graciles, stricti, florum longitudine vel iis aliquantum breviores longioresve, 
circiter ad medium bibracteolati; bracteolae minutae, lineares, oppositae vel approximatae, una vel altera 
interdum gemmam floriferam, plerumque abortivam gerente; ovartum campanulatum, uti alabastra patentim 
hirsutum, circa 2 mm longum, dentibus parvis, ovario fere vel exacte duplo brevioribus, acutis instructum; 
corolla lutea, saltem 1 cm longa, extus parce patentim hirsutula vel glabrescens, intus glabra; lobi 3 inferiores 
alte connati, parte libera saltem triplo breviore; filamenta antheris saltem triplo longiora; stylus parce hirsutus; 
indusium minute ciliatum; capsula parva, anguste elliptico-oblonga, circa 4 mm longa, pilosula; semina 
minuta, pernumerosa, orbicularia, complanata, lucida, manifeste marginata.

G. lamprospermae affinis, sed jam foliis rosulatis, latis, nervis indistinctis, indumento, calycis lobis 
brevibus, etc. abunde distincta. G. gracilis jam glabritie, foliis radicalibus integris, scapis floriferis sparse 
ramosis, capsula ovoidea etc. longius distat. 
3006. G. semiteres n. sp. 
Herba perennis, praeter flores glaberrima, stricte erecta, 4—5 dm alta, pauci- vel pluricaulis, caespites 
minores efformans; caules virides, subteretiusculi, pauciramosi (ramis semper erectis), usque ad apicem 
distantim foliati; folia radicalia erecta, glaberrima, viridia, semitereti-linearia, perangusta, circa 8—13 em 
longa, integra, leviter striatula; folia caulina inferiora conformia, suprema abbreviata, omnia semper erecta; 
flores in racemos laxos, graciles, terminales, pluri- sed haud multifloros, pro more simplices, rarius basi ramosos 
dispositi, longe pedicellati; pedicelli gracillimi, stricti, glaberrimi, inferiores floribus saepe quadruplo longiores, 
bracteis elongatis fulcrati, circiter ad medium bibracteolati, apice distincte articulati; pericladium ovario 
brevius, glanduloso-pubescens.

Species in sectionem Amphichila inserenda et forsan prope G. gracilem collocanda, sed jam habitu 
distinctissima, Commelinaceas quasdam xerophilas aemulans.
