A, parvifolia, Choisy, remains somewhat doubtfal, but, if it belongs to the genus 
at all, the character, ‘‘foliis ovato-linearibus brevibus,” given by Bergius should 
place it here. I have cited the figures on which the description seems to have 
been chiefly based, though I am in doubt whether they belong to the genus 
at all.
