 damp shady places, generally on the banks of streams. 



Toiia 4-9 poll, longa, 1-3 poll, lata, petiolis (in var. a) 1-1 J poll. longis. 



A very variable species, both as to the size as well as the form of the leaves, and 

 the nnmber of their primary veins. 1 should not be surprised if a more critical exa- 

 mination of fresh specimens proved vai'S, a and j3 to be distinct species. 



2. A. bnllatam^ Thw. (c.v. 239); foliis bullatis, utrinque (praecipue 

 supeme inter nervos et ad marginem crenato-serratum) moUissime

Hab. In similar places with the foregoing, and often mixed with it. 



Folia 2-6 poll. longa, ?-2 poll, fata, petiolis \-\ poll, longis. 

 This species is well distingaished by its ballate, softly pubescent leaves, characters 

 better obFcrvcd in fresh than in dried specimens.
