18 MISS L. S. GIBBS ON THE FLORA AND PLANT FORMATIONS 
formalin, but Haviland's no. 992 is a perfect example of the forest form, 
the hairs being very long and the leaves, much larger than in any of my 
specimens.

When describing this species I compared it with S. picta, Griff., and 
observed that it differed from it solely in the shape of the leaves. I added, 
however, that I had seen only a single anther, and this was broken in the 
middle. Miss Gibbs's specimens possess well-preserved anthers. They are 
1'5 mm. long, ovate-oblong and obtuse, and therefore rather different from 
those of S. picta, so that the similarity of the two species is, after all, not so 
great. I would also add that both her specimens have non-variegated leaves, 
-aas has one of Haviland’s.—O. 8.
