V. persica (like many specimens observed at this season this year has lower lobes, corolla lighter than the others (R.B.K is uncertain impression, perhaps false, that in the spring the corolla lobes were all of same shade.) See 4-4-34 for comparison of V. polita with V. agrestis. 9-14-34 Pyracantha coccinea Roem. B.MJCP 374 = Colocantes Pyracantha, Spach Cote II 69, A 479, Bon 102 = Cratheguo Pyracantliax Barbk. Fr.
