Hab. Dalmatia, loco amplius non indie. (Visiani in Hb. DC. &
Boiss.), in insula Osego (Spruner, Hb. Boiss.)—Origo specimimim
Reichenbachio distributorum a cl. incerta (" Dalmatien, an alteu
Maueru liiugs des Morlakkeu-Canals, auf deui Miuaret von Dernis,
an Felsen um Almissa.").
Though nearly related to the former, and similar as to general
habit, it may be distinguished by its small numerous flowers, on
thin and, as a rule, clustered peduncles ; the stamens and seeds
offer good technical characters.
8. C. Cephallenica. Inconspicua. Caules flagellares (30-45
cm. longi, 2—i mui. crassi) ascendentes brunnei, pilis mollibus
patulis vestiti, simplices, remote foliati. FoUa cordato-ovata grosse
et obtuse dentata, iudumento adpresso subtomentosa vel glabrescentia.
Flores pauci (5-8) minusculi, pedunculis tenuissimis arcuatopatalis
subffiquilougi in racemum terminalem laxum simplicem
dispositi. Eeeeptaculum subglobosum, sicut calices molliter setulosum.
Calicis lobi angusti basi attenuati acutissimi, corolla ^
breviores, sub anthesi et postea reflexi. Corolla (6-8 mm. alta, 10-
12 lata) ultra f fissa, lobis patulis cferuleis. Staminum squamae
ovattB, filamentis duplo fere longiores, longit-udine ciliarum G-plo
latiores : antherae summa filamentorum squamarumque duplo lon-
giores, breviter apiculatte. Stilus gracilis, corolla duplo longior,
pars eius glabra piliferam subtequans ; stigmata stilo 8-plo breviora.
Capsula parva (2 : 2-5 mm.). Semina inter maiora (0-9 : 0-5 mm.)
subovalia crassiuscula badia nitida. Flor. lunio, lulio.
Syn. C. garganica Boiss. Fl. Or. iii. 918.
Hah. In insula Cephallenia pr. Taphius eparchife occid.
Paliki (Heidi', exsicc. 3705) et in monte Ainos hodie Monteuero
(Letourneux, PL Or. vari^ 3460).
According to its station, which is at a considerable distance
from those of the other species, this is distinct in every respect ;
long flaccid stems, with sparse leaves and few-flowered
its
terminal
raceme, give it a characteristic appearance.
9. C. Brotherorum (ex affinitate C sarmatu-m Ker).-^ Hirsutohispidula.
Caulis erectus subflexuosus (50 cm. altus), pro altitudine
gracilis, simplex. Folia iis C. sarmaUca rigidiora, cteterum subsimilia.
Flores magni erecti vel subuutantes baud secundi, pedunculis
gracilibus longioribus, a medio caule racemum anguste
pyramidalem simplicem formantes. Alabastrum (30 mm. fere
longum) angustum subclavatum. Receptaculum scmi-cUipsoideum.
Calix ut in typo. Corolla (30 mm. longa) anguste infundibularis ad

I
ercctis in marginc ciliatis, cajterum glabra.
Stamina iis 0. saruiaticm maiora. Stilus inclusus, parte superiore
pilifora incrassatus. Capsula et semina mihi non visa. Fl. lulio.
Uah. In ditione Ossetia Caucasi centralis inter Jcdisi et Kadlasem
ad flumou Didi Liacliva (Broth. Cauc. 592).
A species of secondary order, the habit and cliaracters of which
seem, however, to entitle it to an independent place.
10. C. cantabrica. Busilla, obscure virens, surculosa. Radix
pro planta crassa (8-12 mm. longa) napuliformis, cauliciilos plures
