4-11-34 ??? Pyrola rotundifolia L. Costa I 2084, Bon
203, BVH 296, SVK I 505. No flowers. Underalotly growth.
La Strangelle (near ? Carex alba). Plant has all the look
of P. Lowest lvs. seems to have survived the winter. ! won't
get. About 6cm lvs 3.5 x 3.5 cm, grey rounded at apex,
hardly cordate at base but (because the portion [l]ares
formed) seems to be cordate, lvs almost entire, shining
on upper surface.

M- Lawn BMJ CP 6 204, M. intermedia Reuleb. Costa II 601,
Bon 2 204. Bud (opened in [l]ouse). Dist west of Bourveret.
Closer to M. silvatica[?] Clin 4-19-34]. Root a well-developed
luffy fiber with many remains of lost crown, suggest-
ing a biennis. 10 stems (now bundled) others much
slighter. Tallest lvs ± 8 inches high to base. Terminal
nift with budding infl. in upper axil. Men effect
in other respects very like M. sil-. But its lvs look
rather thicker, more translucent & more conspicuously
hairy. Calyx teeth def longer than tube (in M. sil- they are
equal) and more nearly lanceolate (in M. sil- & M. angu-
lar). Hell 9684 is like M. silvatica this teeth are too wide
& too blunt even for that at [f]l. stages. Calyx tube longer
than corolla tube so that tips of calyx teeth are bent
