This species is extremely variable, if all the above forms are correctly referred 
here. They pass so gradually into each other that I do not see how to separate 
them. Some indeed have been referred to the following species, and a more 
complete series of specimens would perhaps necessitate some’ moditication of the 
present arrangement. The species was originally described and figured from a 
specimen that flowered in the Fulham nursery of Messrs. Whitley Brame and 
Milne. H. fruticosa, Linn. fil., to which it was doubtfully referred, is a true 
Dischisma (D. fruticoxum, Rolfe), and must be excluded from most of the above 
references. H. sca!rida, Burm fil., is cited here with some doubt, for although the 
habit agrees well, especially with the variety dura, the structure of the flower, as 
represented in Burmann’s rude figure (on which it was based) does not agree with 
the genus, or indeed with the Order. 
8. H. dentata (Linn. Sp. Pl. ed. i. 629, ed. ii. 878) ; perennial,

longer; spikes elongate, up to 6 in. long in fruit, dense or some-
