South side of drive towards road. All hairs on plant are
short & appressed. Pedicels definitely thin not thickly
hairy. Very nervos a sparsely hairy above veins
beneath; older less glabrous except a few hairs near
edges. Uppermost part of stem hairy but not
glabrous, the 2 sides of hairs faint or lacking.
Ill W.F. & N.Y. Fl 172 good. Walton p 198 say var pulchra
"very hairy" Petioles 13 mm. Fl's almost (perhaps quite)
as dark as Ill W.F. & N.Y. [see var pulchra 8-2-38]

FL Edge of drive. All plants inspected had hairs on
red, tuberculate bases. Dead about length of pods, bracts
pls difficult to follow. But see SVK I 476 acc. to which
identity is sure, corolla being just the length of the
longer filaments (never giving the effect of extend-
ing beyond stamens) and the free part of calyx
gas long as "Achenbech" i.e. Calyx tube pls vary.
But contrary to SVK the open flare not "dictyogener
libero-gena" and hairs of calyx tips are not red tuber-
cled at base (as on hairs on st. vary) Ill W.F. & N.Y
Fl a 145 v/146 not very satisfactory from our plant which
pods is more like 176 ie O.m -- . {These will suggest
SVK has reversed facts about fl's extending beyond
