In fig. teeth have become ± 4mm. Oldest fr now
narrowly oblong 4 x 2mm whence shorter than
calyx. Corolla 5mm (longest meas.) not accreant.
Capsule absolutely glabrous. Lvs (esp of the lvs which
subtend fls be included) well-dense (SVK) 7mm x 2.5
mm (without teeth) being fairly representative of
size. Corolla white with purple lines, but note
also yellow spot at base under lip and yellow
at throat (SVK suggest the yellow is rare)
Ident by: the absence of gland-hairs, the proportion
glvs and the glabrous calyx which seems to make
this the only porrace to SVK. v Cesta. But note that
infl (now) is not "allergée" (Cesta) but more com-
pact v teeth short. When growing the fls have a
daisy-like look owing perhaps to the dull purple
anthers being proportionately large for the tiny
corolla.
