6-4-34 fruit now 5mm along no sign of b. invol. bracts sometimes 1 or 2. And sometimes a number is sessile and a tiny lf (± like the regular lv) at its base. 6-4-34 Rhus Toxicodendron L. § 552 Fr. Mont-Fleuri where id crosses junculaeise. Petals veined. In 1933 R. experimented with juice of the plant on Hoteldes Alpes well at Albon and found it caused miserable results. 6-5-34 Plantago lanceolata L. Coteill 149, Bon 2160, B&H 379, § 745, St I 627. Fr. Field early piggery V-M. Flv fr. seem exactly as in the plants common in vicinity (St stout, to 8in tall, deeply grooved. Spike 1-1½ in l vs 10 x 1½ in, hvs almut glabrous. Sts with scattered, appressed hairs.) This plant has very slender, at red, scarcely angled, but not grooved, hairs ap- presed but at base & at top spreading & changey and stumps to thyrse. St. Fairly high. Spike spheroidal 8mm. large. Lvs 9 cm x 9 mm, ± deep green with spread ning hairs. General effect very like Coteaill of P. argentea Chaix (# 3009) but can't be P. argentea since lvs are not "argentées-soyeuses" and sepals are not glabrous. Perhaps P. lanceolata h. var. sphacelostachya Wimmer u Klab. St I 3185
