I have referred to var. major only specimens of which I have seen or had notes 
by the collectors, concerning the ripe fruits. 
The shape and size vf the leaves, length of the corolla-tube and general amount of 
hairiness are extremely variable, but are characters which seem neither to be dis- 
tinetly correlated, nor to be dependent upon geagraphical areas.
