Peduncles borne on the stems, sepals very finely pointed, stipules fringed, no basal rosette between the stems (cf with the usual V. silvestris) (Plants like BOWELL II ^ 54 V canina v ^ 55- V. lactea in this respect. Often only 1 at a point with dried remains of last years &c. In one case the plant has a more tufted look because the root stock has a number of short branches & the 1-serral flowering stems issuing from each of these give off effect. But there is no basal rosette # of brat & of the underground root-stock-branches. Note that young fling-st. may occasionally look liked stilled rosetta.)
