In a letter received from Dr. Bolus, who was good enough to examine 
the beaths of the collection, the differences between this plant and А. plani- 
folia, Linn., are summed up as follows :—(1) The umbellate-capitate inflor- 
escence and shorter pedicels. (2) The clothing of longer non-glandular hairs. 
(3) The often 4-nate leaves. (4) The ovate-lanceolate acute (not setaceo- 
acuminate) sepals. (5) The smaller campanulate-urceolate (not cyathiform) 
corola. (6) The anthers not or very slightly tapering to the base, and 
provided with narrow-cristate (not subulate-aristate) appendages.
