7-26-34 Monday. Petals may well have been spiculate. R.B.K has no doubt this is same species as 8-27-34 and in light of dec 16-12-31 thinks it virtually sure that all plants taken for S alpina fell up to now (ie 6-12-31, 7-31-31, 7-4-33) were all this. 7-26-34 Geranium campetris l. Costa II 571; Box 216 R9H314; SV/TL 530 FR R.de N. western ridge. Icor paletat ( decidedly brooded towards tip) hence ssp campestris. and acc to SVK II 275 must be var germanica since the at-lw are very acute and internodes def shorter than lvs. Note that one plant bears several flo 4-merous and several flo which has 5-stamens & 5 corolla lobes (1) these has 3 instead of 2 small cplx. lobes). P is not however a hybrid with G germanica Willd (which has never been found in R.de N. region) since calyx is plainly that of G campestris [9-3-34 FL large Corolla white or very faintly tinged purplish.] 7-26-34 Salix pseudandra l. Costa III 270; Box 289; R9H 424; BMJCP 224; 4321; SVK 183 FR almost stripe. Caux short cut Homed'Enfants -> Guide home's house. Lvs conspicuous varnish- ed shiny above or petiole petiolar glands which often bear several glands near tip [base?] Node fler also bears glands. Axis inflo softly hairy. Scales all fallen. Two glands sometimes found, the anterior one nar- anterior tower than the rather broad anterior one but mostly the anterior gland (ie not nearest the axis of infl.)
