(N.571,—«.in herb. Arn.—é.in herb. Hook.) — The stem 
below the last opposite pair of cauline leaves is hairy in 
our æ.: above them it is glabrous, and as the corymbs and 
floral leavesthere commence, we have considered that part 
as the rachis. The lobes of the leaf are usually two pair 
and a terminal one, which is much larger and broader 
than the others: the lower pairs are very narrow, the 
middle ones oblong,—all are toothed. The leaves in- 
crease in size, and the hairiness of the stem becomes 
more dense, towards the root.

We have already stated that the plant described under 
this name in Humboldt’s works, and by DeCandolle in 
his Prodromus, is a distinct species: it may be called
