Notes
We refer the specimen cited above to var. rubra only with some misgivings. It may be merely a very small form of C. setulosa var. setulosa the habit of which (stems very slender, up to 1·7 cm. long; inflorescences few-flowered) was determined by the dry environment (”saxideserta”). More material is needed to elucidate the situation.
