whether this can be considered as anything more than a very large form of C. veratri- 
Jolia, R. Br. (a most variable plant in the size of the flowers and proportions of the

Islands to Australia.

I cannot distinguish the plants quoted above from the species originally described by 
Reichenbach from the Isle of Pines, and believe that it is widely distributed over the
