character to diftinguifh repens from profirata is, that in the 

 former the calycine leaflets are more fharply keeled, and 

 have white margins ; in the latter the leaflets are more ob- 

 tufely rounded and of a uniform colour. The two fpecies 

 appear however to have been fo confounded together, that 

 the fynonymy is not eafily extricab'e.
