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.
