There is some doubt as to the identity of this species because Montin’s figure 
does not well represent Thunberg’s and Masson’s specimens so marked, and 
indeed appears to us to resemble more the next ‘species; and the description is 
insufficient. But as the present has been known under Montin’s name for so 
many years, and was so known to Thunberg and Linnwus, we have judged it 
better to adhere to it.
