| ocrnotes: | M. gentilis, L. Wirtgeniana, F. Schultz. River bank, Sellack, Herefordshire, 6th August, 1887.--Augustin Ley. " I regard this as a simple-stemmed form of M. gentilis, Sm. M. Wirtgeniana, Fr. Schultz, has a stem 18 to 24 inches long, branchlets much elongated. The leaves have long petioles, are oval - obtuse, irregularly toothed, teeth obtuse or subacute. The floral whorls are all stalked, the lower ones with very long stalks. This species nearly approaches M. rubra, Sm., from which it principally differs in its included stamens and smaller calyx."--L'Abbe" Ch. A. Strail. |
