have remodelled the specific character formerly given, 
in order to distinguish this species more readily from 
some others we are only lately made acquainted with. 
This and the three following bear a great similarity to 
one another, and we might have made them all varieties, 
had we not found points of difference recognized as 
sufficient in other species. "The present, by the falling 
off of the upper leaves, sometimes presents the appear- 
ance figured by Feuillée, v. 3. ¢. 32, and therefore we 
have no doubt but it is E. Chekan, Molina, &c.
