There is no authenticated specimen of this species in the Kew 

 Herbarium or at the British Museum (either as described by 

 Hooker and Arnott or Bentham, and both parties described a 

 species independently under this name), and we doubt, from the 

 description, whether the plants referred hither by Hance and 

 Maximowicz are the same as the original H. Vachellii.
