Dr. Gray suggests that this may be the same as A. virgularis; but he had probably 
no authenticated specimens before him, for it is a very distinct species. A. thurberi, of 
which we have seen no specimens, is nearer this, though quite distinct, if the calyx- 
lobes be correctly described as equalling the capsule in length. |
