A most variable plant, the extreme forms of which are so very dissimilar m ap- 

 pearance, that they might well be taken for distinct species ; but they so merge one 

 into the other that is impossible to consider them other than varieties. Var. 7 ap- 

 proaches very closely some forms of the next species.
