angles (the lateral angles of the mericarps not contiguous, so that the whole fr shows 10 distinct angles) Lvs of this Peucedanum could (by RB. H.) be easily mistaken one for the other. 9-2-33 Cerastium lachenalii Knel. Cota II 198, Bon 130, BVH 196, BVH III # 202, SVI 493 Fl v young fr. Villeneuve marsh. This is same plant as 7-18-33 (see note) and its roots & lower lvs make ident sure. 8-2-33 Polygonum lapathifolium L. Cota III 254, Bon 375, BVH 403, # 360, SVI 213 Fl v fr. Many spec cd from Villeneuve pice all the way to Bourcet. They all agree in lvs of sheathed bracts without trication and lvs longer than 2 nodes. Apart from that there is wide variation from glauced spcec like 6-28-33 through gradations to husky forms with greatly prollern abov 2 nodes reddetd, fls pink or white; lvs with dark spot in center or not. All lvs (except the few on roots beneath) is finely (20x) gland-dotted, rough with hair on edges & mid-rib. Pedicels, pedicels, bracts (to less degree perianth) sometimes show a few glands, often hardly any. Fr often 2 x 2 mm or little longer. Dust often slender (6 mm or much less wide). These part belong in at least part of them to the sep (or nbr) nodosum which are to BVH III # 318 = P. petiolare Stokes but nota
