The V. Bobartiiis always a plant of more humble growth
than V. angustifolia, differing from that species In the soli-
tary flowers, which are of a brighter crimson colour, and in
the upper leaflets being generally narrower, and the lower
ones more truly inversely heart-shaped, like those of V. la-
thi/roides, for which it has frequently been mistaken.
The description of this species in the English Flora is so
excellent that it is not necessary to do more than point out
the above ostensible differences.
The specific character and synonyms of V. angustifolia,
t. 2614, may be thus altered.
