throughout length, St. Louis #2, the largest.
19 x 4 mm. The 3 nerves light colored visible
plainly to eye, the 2 lateral ones disappearing
above the middle. Internode (in middle of
upper part of St.) 4-6 cm long, hence much longer
than the lvs. (Cata catba). But on young branches
lvs are as long or longer than the +/-1cm internodes.
Lvs slightly enlarged medges and near beneath
edges incline to roll under; apex of lvs without
any bristle tip. Infla rather narrow terminal
panicle, many fld. Corolla white, 2mm on a side.
Caries densely cored with fine white hairs, most
3 vessels are hooked at apex. Note: lvs not as broad
as infl not as compact as all (Cata)
This must be var. genuinum brewsterianum SW#II
322.
6-16-34 Galium palustre L. (See 5-5-34) FL. Boweret in
marshes -> B. Plage.
A. Sts very slender, 15-20cm high. Flds 2mm on a side.
Largest fl. 9 x 1.5 mm. Sts only slightly roughened.
B. Sts atouter, 45 cm high. FL 2-3 mm on a side. Largest fl.
14 x 2 mm. Sts def. rough to touch.
Query whether A is var. typicum Deeks SW#II 321
and B is var lanceolatum Deeks SW#II 321,
Both blooming together plentifully. A man
tells R that these (indicating a tall plant) are
used to flavour 'vin rouge'.
