The original description hi Linn. f. Suppl. wa.s probably made from a specimen 

 of Thunberg'sj which I have not ^een. I have here taken Drcge's specimens as 

 types. It is difficult to separate .small-leaved specimens of this species from 

 large-leaved forms of ovatet ; typical plants of the two are quite distinct, but some 

 of the intermediate forms cannot be placed definitelj' in either species. 



The varietal name ^^ macronata" cpioted by De Candolle is probably due to a 

 slip of the pen and stands for ^^ mloraia,'' there being no specimen named var- 

 mticronata in the Berlin Hei-barium.
