because capsule 6mm high (me.) seeds
is on a stalk, only 1mm. Capsule very like
ill [S. gallica]. (Cote) and ill whole plant makes
this not impossible identification. But filaments
not at all "velutula base".
Plant many traveled from base; branches numerous
at base. Note that lower flowers ped to 2 cm, (ascending)
while those at tip quite almost sessile. Cote also
that often in case of these lower long-ped. frs sometimes
in case I upped for the back [only] out which
subtends them subtends also an almost a quite
sessile fr with or without bracts (too) at its base.
40 s 50 so that implies not a simple
raceme.
All evidence seems to point deftly S. decipiens
Barcelo' Bas 61 which Kn calls S. persea L
var apetala Kn Kn I 4 71
4-23-32, Ornithogalum marbonense L. Kn I 397,
Bas 436, Bor 296, Cote II 317 Fl. Belles. Petals somewhat
green veined inside, about 13 mm high. Filaments broad for
4mm, then narrow at tip to 1 mm and are very
narrow for 2mm = 7 mm total. Style almost exact
length of filaments. Anthers white. Pedicels 8-12 mm
also very acuminate bracts as long longer varying a
little but all the unpanded buds at top green.
Pier seg not yellowing with age. St. 18 in length the
3 frs only slightly shorter.
