Gymnonychium pubescensBartl. [family ], Linn. 17. p. 354, cum icone.
Information
twigs. leaves, peduncles and calyx hairy; leaves spreading, lanceolate, sub-obtuse, sub-cordate at base, with revolute impresso-glanded margins; calyx-lobes keeled, obtuse; petals downy at base; sterile filaments little longer than the calyx, cylindrical-filiform, glabrous, pilose towards the base. Very like A. blaerioides, and perhaps merely a variety. It differs in the longer, lanceolate-attenuate lower leaves, sub-cordate at base, and destitute of stalked marginal glands, or having them very rarely on the uppermost leaves. It agrees in all other respects. Leaves 2 1/2–4 lines long, rarely sub-opposite.
