9-25-34 Lythrum hyssopifolia L. Cote II.91, Bon 106; BVH162; G592 = L. Hyssopifolia SVI 464 FL Rd Angle -> Vionnaz, field at north west side of Canal. A.: proper calyx teeth shorter than the intermediate processes; SVI "K. gähne gleich- lang" but in this plant the calyx teeth (1 mm) are 2-3 times as long as the tiny triangular processes. 9-25-34 ? Diplaxia tenuifolia DC. Cote I.79, Bon 22; G 429; SVI 299 = Brassica -- Boies BVH 38 FLs young fl. RR crossing on the Rd Roche -> Pouldu Seez. The ? as to ident so because no pods show seeds in 2 rows (as D. muralis with which it is always clearly in its pods all at once) but pods are devel- oping poorly and undeveloped ovules sug- gest that under better conditions seeds might have been in 2 rows. Cotyledons are cordiform (as in D. muralis) see L. Sts creeping upward from base, fls fr 6-10 in, branched. The infl. part (terminal florus opening) only a little if any longer than the fls parts & at. Its deeply cut into narrow, oblong rather distant lobes, the terminal lobe also oblong narrow (whether Cote or BVH exact but bit suggest how this differs from D. muralis). St upper part is more nearly entire, narrowly oblong. Slightly hirsute with short, simple hairs. Pods with short (1 mm) stalk above insertion point of calyx. Valve 1 nerved. Petals with short (1-mm) claws, blade circular (7x7 mm) the blades overlapping in flesh.
