5-25-34 Enonymus europaeust. SVII 443, BM 63,
BVH 103, A 556 = E. europaea L. BMJCP 465;=E. vulgaris Sep.
Coats I 971. Fl. On causeway Rhone bridge->Nodda. Flo
usually ~ 3 to the cluster Effect striking with the
dark green discs v 4" greenish-white petals. Rather
yellow (B.M.JCP)
5-25-34 Sagina procumbens L. Coats I 197, BM 48, BVH 68
BHII # 91, A 379, SVII 241. Bul v/fa. Waterfront Villeneuve.
Plant access to SVII. Parts of fl in 42. The sepals broad
and very rounded at apex. Lvs are 1/2 mm at base
to 1/2-mm near apex (which proves little) but the shape
tip is certainly not even 1/2 the rad of lf. Plants make
a thick mat with fl. stems rising to 1-5 cm high.
Some procumbent branches are 8 cm v rooting at nds.
Flowering stems rise from arculating rosette. Petals very
short. Pedicels hooked at top perhaps in some cases
(perhaps soon after flowering) but mostly erect, &
always erect after deluescence. Sepals closely appressed
to capsule before deluescence but after deluescence
strongly spreading. Seeds (20x) practically smooth.
The low compact growth not like all Coats or SVII.
5-25-34 Callitriche palustris L. SVII 440. Villeneuve;
fatty. No flo found but no fr. to determine sep. Pollen
examined (84x) but without decision. Shape fls
seem to indicate Sep stagnalis or S.p. verna.
