8-6-34 Arenaria ciliata L. Costa I 210; Bon 50; BWH 73; SWK 247 Flr young fr. (a) 898 jaman slopes beneath J-N tunnel entrance These plants have the familiar look of those collected on Rde N: 1931, 1933 and 7-5 '17-26-34. (A 899 jaman on rock opp. entrance J walls J old cobet near tunnel entrance. Growing the plant attracted attention because flowers were larger than A. ciliata had been found hitherto. (Too wretched when studied 8-11 to get measurements) But no other diff can be found. Note that in both (a) & (b) many flower lvs show translucent dots (20x) against the light. R.B.K's theory is that these turn into the white projecting dots of the dry portions (SWK). 8-6-34 Sedum atratum L. Costa II 112; Bon III; SWK I 322 withered fls jaman eastern slope J valley. This, as it grew, seemed to have sterile shoots but proved, instead, to consist of a clump of several annual plants just fling and many very young plants. Cfd with dried plants of 7-26-34 and speci of 8-5-34 from the Engadine. All evidently the same as far as can be judged. Cfd with S album L. flr north side J Beute jaman with which it need never be confused. Lvs are club- alike, broadest at apex and very rounded or even flattened at the thick tip (S. album has lo cylindriced
