194 SUPPLEMENT lusus' one flower in the Botanic Gardel1l at Oxford had forty-four perfectly formed petals all of which, in a fully ex~anded state, occupied a circle of only one-tenth part of an inch in diameter. . . It was first found by tl')e Rev. H. Davies on a green near Beaumaris, Anglesey, in July, 1817-;' s. APETALA Ard. Animadv. Bot, Spec. ii. p. 22 (1764), t. 8, f. I (1763). Annua, solitaria sive aggregato-crespitans, glanduloso-puberula vel glabra. Cauliculi multi tenues e radicis colla egredientes, simplices erecti vel ramosi adscendentes, laterales atque centralis floriferi. Folia 2t-6 mm., omnia vel saltern superiora internOdio duplo breviora, basi ciliata, supra plana, subtus leviter convexa, inferiora mox marcescentia. Anthemia laxa, pseudo-scorpio idea. Pedunculi terminales et axillares, deflorati recti, fructiferi internodio proximo subduplo longiores. Flor~s 2 mm. diam. Sepal a ovato-oblonga ob.tusa cucullat~, exteriora inflexo-mucronulata, interiora mutica, fructifera cruciatim patentia. Capsula matura "erecta inclinata vel nutans, calyce i-i longior. Semina i mm., rugulosa, dorso canaliculata. Stat. Dry sunny places, w~ll-tops, garden-paths, and bare gravelly ground. Generan.y distributed, but local and rare in the Scottish Highlands. B. prostrata S. Gibson, in Phytologist, 1842, p. 178. Not infrequent. In Berkshire, e.g. it has been noticed at Southcote, Bagshot Heath, Wantage, and roadside near Bagley Wood (G. C. Druce, Flora, p. 98). In Hertfordshire, at St. Ippolyts (1913, ]. E. Little). Var. lrevis Gibson l.c. is the common glabrous erect form; and var. glandulosa-ciliata F. W. Schultz, is the usual glandular form. Arduino's figure leaves something to be desired. The sepals are drawn acute (which recalls ciliata). In fruit two are applied to the capsule and the other two are patent. The whole plant is invested V:(ith an obvious indumentation of patent hairs, which is not met with either in apetalq or ct1iata, which are both glabrous or have only the thinnest covering of light hairs..
