6-16-34 Campanula parilla Haenk. Costa II 502. Bor 79, = C. cocklearifolia lam. SVK I 656. F.L St. King Spah → Ber- eret on rock facing north. Agrees well desc vill and as remembered at higher levels. R thinks she saw the plant in same region last year. 480 6-16-34??? Centaurea dubia Suter SVK I 709 which from desc may = C. nigrescens Willd. Costa II 371. F.Lv fr. Eoside rd (near R.R. tracks) St. Kingolph → Bonoret. Many plants with C. jacea L. = f-late Needs (some radiate, some not) has much the aspect of C. jacea. Sts rather stout & less brooder. The great diff lies in appendages of wind. bracts. The outer & middle ones do not form the real of the bracts, but leave the inner looking green with the dark appendages spotting it. (This seems to rule out the C. jacea L & C. pratensis Thunb. desc SVK I and Costa). The outer appendages and others except near the top are def. flecked & fringed through at the top, perhaps more than 1 row. are as in C. jacea. Appendage not decurrent. Seeds with no pappus to be found. Seeds with a few delicate cilia on surface near the apex of some of these can be seen projecting slightly beyond apex but they surely are not pappus.
