| notes: | "These plants were collected on the platform of Minety station, and are, I think, a uniform gathering of the only form in the immediate neighborhood, Marshall (Journ. Bot., 1904) recorded "Eriophila praecox. Stony platform, Minety station, in plenty." Specimens are in Herb. Druce, and agree well with those now distributed. According to Rouy, Fl. de France, 2, 227, E. praecox has “feuilles ... a poils la plupart bifide, quelques-uns simples," Schultz in his recent monograph, however, describes E. praecox as having the hairs mostly simple, with only a few bifurcate. From his key these plants seem to come under E. Boerhaavii (Van Hall) Dum., as most of the hairs are forked; but Schultz himself has examined Marshall’s plants and named them E. praecox (Stev.) DC. Var. virescens (Jord.) O. E. Schultz.” – J. D. G.” Eight specimens some with flowers and buds. |
