below inf. high, stem almost glabrous, panicle Lvs infl. deep red. Lvs similar to A. retroflexus but not as numerous nor downy. On axis & lvs are small stiff, flat-tipped clusters of flos about 5mm high. Zygose half) plant consists of narrow (1.5cm at widest) leafless infl. made up of cluster of flos like those in axile. Lvs below the general effect broken silhouette (as might be produced by vertical arrangement).
See FM CP “Clemson.” Many of the facts are long armed, i.e., family twice as long as periant parts which differ from A. retroflexus in being lanceolate, with acute mid-nail-nerve prolonged into short tip. Capsule 8-pitted, longer than perianth, wrinkled at top, deficient. Ducts of much like ill (Cote.) A. fatulus Bert (except that the axillary Lvs. two not long as in ill. & flos infl. with same early pubescence as A. retroflexus (see 7-19 & 8-26-31) in which cf. But consider A. paniculatus L.
8-26-31 Equisetum palustre L. Cote II 7/3, BM 385, BVN 572 & 58, SVK I 16. Hope. Charnex. For spec (top gone) cl with other plants. Ident by black, lance-subulate, white margined leaf; centrum hardly larger than other leaves; lowest section of branches shorter than st sheath (SVK) Reaches 5-angled (more sharply than BV & ill I but much less so than ill Box) and is mostly solid.
8-26-31 Hieracium pyrenaicum L. (See 4-25-31) Fls very few cl with A. rolandifolium (8-19-31) Seed not finely minutely (20x) simply (& and SVK say amoth) but not promising to be reticulated as in A. rolandifolium. Late seeds practically smooth when ripe.
