 Giraldi (distributed as A, kolomikta). 



This species is closely related to A, kolomikta Maximowicz, but is readily dis- 

 tinguished by its narrower and smaller leaves, bearded in the axils of the veins 

 beneath but otherwise glabrous or rarely setose on the midrib, and by the tetra- 

 merous flowers, though tetramerous flowers occur also occasionally in A. kolomikta. 

 Nos. 3271 and 4764 difier from the other specimens m the longer, long-acuminate 

 leaves which are bearded in the axils beneath and have more spreading teeth, and 

 in the dark purplish brown branches; No. 3271 differs further in its very pink 

 flowers and No. 4764 which is a pistillate plant in its pentamerous flowers. Dunn 

 refers these specimens to his A. ruhricauliSj but from that species they differ con- 

 siderably in the lamellate pith, in the thin membranous closely and finely serrulate 

 leaves rounded at the base, and in the very slender-stalked tetramerous staminate 

 flowers, 



A picture of this plant will be found under No. 098 of the collection of Wilson's 

 photographs.
