Perhaps only a variety of C. ruscifolia, but the leaves are longer and broader, and 
less acuminate. I should have supposed it to be C. tridentata, Willd., but that the 
leaves are quite glabrous. Leaves 1-1} inch long, 3-4 lines wide, scarcely or not 
at all amplexicaul, erecto-patent, flat. 
3. C. ruscifolia (Linn. Sp. 1469) ; young parts villous, becoming gla- 
brous ; leaves lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, 5—7 nerved, 
rigid, sessile, pungent-mucronate, concave, scaberulous at the margin, 
- entire or sharply tridentate ; stipules amplexicaul, shortly subulate or 
abortive. Thunb. Cap.p. 435. DC. lc. E. & Z.! 1720. Drege, 6832.
