4-27-39 Barbarea procera x P. Br. Costa I 90, (Bor)
= B. verna Ascherson BVH II*38, X 433,
BMJCP. 906, SVK I 299 fl valv. fr. Rod & water tank at
house over tunnel west of V-M. Note the 2 lateral crescent
shaped glands v 2 median oblong glands as seen SVK I.
The thick fruiting pedicels all to pinnatifid and for
most to 5 cm long leaves modoubt ident. But effect
much as in BVH II*38. Pedicels (in fl) 3mm, calyx
4mm, fl to tip of petals 7mm. Lateral sepals slightly acute at base. Sepal erect v close to petals, and fl almost the same
deep yellow as petals. Fl does not lose small & insignificant
The lowest st. has with about 8 lateral segments. Of these
segments the lowest are small v linear, those nearer
the tip is broader & long (but not regularly circular
as SVK suggests). Seg. on upper lvs linear-oblong.
Basal lvs (now withering) seem to have been like
lower at. lvs but segments fewer v smaller.
One oldest fr the 5mm pedicels is fully articlkd as
the 5cm long pod. Pod decidedly 'boring' & stegent
see all BVH II*. Petals 2 mm wide near tip.
