' The genus Passtrtora seems particularly liable to vary in 
the number of lobes into which the leaves are divided; from: 
which circumstance the usual division of it into sections, ac- 
cording to the number of lobes in the leaf, seems very incon- 
venient; such a division also brings species together that are 
very little allied. It appears to us that the different inflores- 
cence would afford more constant, as well as more natural 
sections: some species always producing their flowers on soli- 
tary one-flowered peduncles, others always in pairs, and others 
again, as in the present instance, on compounded peduncles, 
each bearing two, three, or more flowers. os
