This species is so fully described and figured as above quoted, 

 that it is not necessary to enter into any details. I may however 

 remark that its leaves are much smaller, and far less coriaceous 

 than the other two species, and being for the most part coarsely 

 toothed, it bears a very different aspect. The upper leaves, as 

 in the specimens in Sir Wm. Hooker^s herbarium, scarcely ex- 

 ceed 1 or l^- inch in length; but Reisseck states that the lower 

 leaves are usually 2 or 3 inches long, as they are represented in 

 his drawing. The nut is double the size of that of the next 

 species*.

 It is worthy of notice that the delineations and analytical de-

 in this species, will be appended to the drawing of P. Endlicheri,
