(Cuscuta epilinum Nuss found one plant) 9-17-34. Petal notched as in many Cent. Stylopodium qreenide. So infx. distinctly on the qreenide, yellow under. Unripe fr (on the tallest plant) 6mm long, but ripe fr (on another plant) 4mm long (SVAT day. 4-4 1/2 mm). Cross section of fr as ill (Cate v BvH) and F.BK fancy one can see the intlex in young fr. Calyx limb obscure and in fl. hidden by the project- ing stylopodium. Inf not nearly as distinct as ill (BvH) but more distinct than ill (Cate). Stylo- podium of fr. not as high as ill(Cate). Umbels have 4-10 (namely 5-7) rays, the interior rays shorter. Involucres none or if one very insignificant fl boat, involucules of several white margined linear bracts inconspicuously lying along rays of umbello which they do not exceed. (Judging from notes F.BK thinks plant of 9-24-31 may have been this but makes no guess whether plant of 9-2-33 was this or Meum Mutellina Reuth.) Note: uppermost parts of stem more nearly angular than lower parts. Edge of lf-seg are as this cut squarely across & hence present a plane surface [?Course very narrow] [9-25-34 Same plant found Vionvey -> Vougy and also Port du Seez -> Roche]
