 qnam in varr. a et j3. — c.p. 1026. 



Hab. Vars. a and /3. Central Province, at an elevation of 4000-7000 

 feet. Yar. y. In the neighbonrhood of Galle, at no great elevation. 

 Nom. vulg. " Waaweya." 



' Flores pallide viridi-flavi. Lrupce carnosee, pulposee, rubro-nigricantes. 

 Between varieties a and of this species there are intermediate forms, bv which 

 they pass insensibly into one another, and they both occur at considerable ele- 

 vations on the hills of the Central Province. Variety y, however, may be consi- 

 dered a permanent or suh-permauent one, as it is a much more delicate plant, 

 with far smaller flowers, and occurs at no great elevation above the level of the sea. 

 I shall have occasion to notice, in this " Enumeration," similar varieties of several 

 other species.
