This plant varies with leaves more or less pubescent, which 
are in some instances alternate, in others opposite below and 
alternate upwards, in others again completely opposite the 
whole length and the peduncles also, as in Jacquin’s figure, 
above quoted. Linnavs, who had not then seen the last- 
mentioned figure, observes, that the leaves of his plant were 
Opposite, but in those of former authors alternate. This 
disposition to vary, particularly in the degree of pubescence, 
ds us to doubt if the Cetsia viscosa of Roru, and Wi11- 
DENOw in his Enumeration of the Plants of the Berlin Garden, - 
not a mere variety of Arcturus. —
