5-29-32 Tenerium Polium L. var. album
Kn II 315 See T. Polium L. BS 315; Don 257,
Cots III 139 F-L Beach at Colonia. Same as 11-22-32
cf'd with T. Polium var majoreum from Bellows
from which it def differs. Ident chiefly by calyx
lobes as deep (this v by fact that it is not like ill
will's ill Tab CXXXIII T var majorieum. Plants
low (prob about 1 ft a less) than alluded to for var maj-
st. low. Calyx all wooly-felty with white branched
hairs which are much longer than the axi-
lar hairs on var maj majoricum. Both thele
broader v slightly longer than var majoricum but
the revolute, crenulate edges much the same.
Infl has a broader more solid effect as lateral
heads are only very short peduncled. Fls larger
(Calyx 5mm high while var maj- has calyx
3 mm high; corolla diff is about same pro-
portion). Calyx teeth slnkt off base but each bears
just below to apex on its back a woolly brown
awn 1/2-4/2 mm high. (var maj has nothing
similar.) Corolla usually white but (in one
spec) tinged purplish. Anthers red-orange or
redder than orange. Filaments recur variously
on drying - perhaps not as def specially as in
var majoricum.
