284 MISS MARIETTA PALLIS ON THE 
The remainder of the material, which is now to be described, was divided 
into those (9) with fewer smaller and narrower leaflets, and those (19) with 
more numerous larger and broader leaflets. It was then seen that the Fruits 
of these two series were extremely different, and then again noticed that the 
former came entirely from Letei, while the latter came entirely from 
Caraorman. Owing to the relatively large proportion of unexplained 
variation occurring in the material, these have not been described as distinct 
species, though they may prove to be so. In the latter case, the plant from 
Letei should be regarded as the type of the species which is now described.

The species differs from F. coriare folia, Scheele, in the shape and size of 
the leaflets, which (in Herb. Mus. Brit.) have the upper surface very
