A smaller plant (sometimes only 2 inches high) than P. Lesckenaultiana, -with 

 wiich it is almost, if not quite, united through its rar. bannehalensis, less villous, with 

 smaller leaves, more branched open corymbs, longer and more slender pedicels, more 

 Mute calyx -lobes and smaller fruit. 



_ Vae. stolonifera : Lehm. ; Maxim. Diagn. Dec. xv. 160; stoloniferous, leaflets some- 

 times 9, the alternate smaller. Bhotan, Griffith; Sirmore, Wallich,—1 give the 

 Sinnore hal itat on Maximovic's authority ; the specimens in Herb. Wallich have no 

 stolons and are referable to the ordinary form of the plant. According to the same 

 authority this variety is found in Japan and Kamtschatka.
