Helianthemum chamaecistus, Mill. (H. vulgare, Gartn. H. variabile, Spach). Fig. 1793. Low procumbent sub- shrub, rarely upright: lvs. petioled, usually flat, ovate to linear-lanceolate, green on both sides, hairy or nearly glabrous, ½ -1 ½ in. long: stipules lanceolate: fls. normally yellow, about 1 in. across, in many-fld loose racemes; outer sepals much shorter than the inner broadly oval ones. Eu., W. Asia., N. Afr. L.B.C. 3:202. R.F.G. 3:30 (4547, as var. concolor). G.W.H. 111.— This is an exceedingly variable species and numerous forms are cult, in European gardens; the following are perhaps the most noteworthy: Var. grandiflorum, Fiek (H. grandiflorum, Lam.). Lvs. ovate to oblong, green on both sides: fls. yellow,1 ¼ in. long. Var. cupreum, Grosser (H. hyssopifolium var. cupreum, Sweet). Lvs. oval to lanceolate, green on both sides: fls. copper- colored, darker toward the base, 1 ¼ - 1 1/3 in. across. S.C. 58. Var. tomentosum, Grosser (H. tomentosum, Dun. H. angustifolium, Pers. H. polifolium, Hort.). Lvs. oblong to oblong-lanceolate, flat or revolute at the margin, white-tomentose beneath, ¼ - ¾ in. long: fls. yellow. S.E.B. 2:158 and S.C. 34 (as H. vulgare). R.F.G. 3:30 (4547, as var. discolor). There is a double- fid, form, var. tomentosum multiplex, Grosser. S.C. 64. Var. roseum, Grosser (H. roseum. Sweet). Lvs. lanceolate, white-tomentose beneath: fls. pink, 1 ¼ in. across. A form with semi-double fls. is var. roseum. multiplex. S.C. 86. Var. venustum, Grosser. Lvs. lanceolate, revolute, white-tomentose beneath: fls. crimson with yellow eye, over 1 in. across. S. C. 10. Var. mutabile, Grosser. Lvs. ovate-oblong, flat, grayish tomentose beneath: fls. at first light rose, changing to lilac, finally nearly white. S.C. 106. R.F.G. 3:35 (4556). Var. stramineum, Grosser. Lvs. oval to oblong-lanceolate, flat, white-tomentose below: fls. bright straw-yellow, over 1 in. across. S.C. 93. There is a double-fld. form, var. stramineum multiplex. S.C. 94. Var. diversifolium, Grosser. Lvs. oval to oblong- or linear-lanceolate, white-tomentose beneath: fls. purplish pink, the petals with a darker copper-colored blotch at the base. S.C. 95. A double-fld. form with purplish red fls. is var. diversifolium multiplex. S. C. 98. Var. macranthum, Grosser. Lvs. ovate-oblong, rather large, thinly grayish tomentose beneath: fls. white, nearly 1 1 ¾ in. across, the petals blotched yellow at the base. S.C. 103. There is a form with very double fls., var. macranthum multiplex. S.C. 104.
