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.
