From Mrs. Kennedy, Valdemosa "Sa. Comuna"
6-20-32 Cynanchum aetnum L. Knut 293, Bar 310, Bon 312, Cote II 547 Fl. Arenal. Torrente at end stream plentiful. Staminad tube cup-like with 5 subulate
stamens.
Teeth alt. with 5 reeling labral petals. Bet. these
leets the tube makes outward folds (After [illegible]
and a little below these teeth on inside are 5 other
leets straight, narrowly linear, their tips more or
convergent over center of fl.
6-20-32 Lactuca virosa L. Knut 582, Bar 285; Bon 187, Bot H & II 295, Cote II x 32 Fl. Of fs. with labors. Gleumes
def. purple-black, roughened by transverse wrinkles
(these near summit sharp) but could not be
called hairy at summit. Edges seem thin
rather than thick (Cote). Basal lvs. sinuate den-
tate (not at all divided?) St. lvs. strongly auriculate,
clasping, sinuate-dentate, not divided (except
the uppermost which are lobed toward tips.) Bracts
virid green. Plant with no tinge of purple ex-
cept what is inherent in the pronounced
glaucousness of lvs. St rays by itself longer
than internodes & growing progressively smaller
until they merge into the strongly auriculate
clasping bracts! Pars. some lvs tend to stand on
edge (or this may be due to packing in box) but
most only a few not definitely. Millersey
