Mr. Bentham mentions a variety, A. Baueriana, taken from 

 Bauer's drawing in Endlicher's ' Iconographia ' above quoted, 

 but I can perceive no difference in it from the typical plant^, 

 where the leaves are always more or less serrulate, and the tube 

 of the corolla often somewhat narrower, as in the drawing re- 

 ferred 1p. This species has larger leaves and flowers than any 

 other belonging to the genus, and is well distinguished by the 

 many viscous glands imbedded in hollows on the surface of 

 the leaves. The leaves are 1^ to 2 inrbps Inno- i"ti^i„,i: — +i,„ 

 petiole, and | to 1 



an abortive racemeT In Bauer's figure the peduncle aboveThe 

 bracts bears three flowers ; all the specimens I have seen are 

 I -flowered, but that may result from the abortion of the others ; 

 the peduncle is 6 to 9 lines long ; the bracts 4 to 6 lines in length ; 

 the pedicel, 9 to 12 lines long, is articulated a little above the 

 point of insertion of the bracts ; the tube of the calyx is 5 lines, 

 its segments 5 to 6 lines in length ; the corolla 11 to 2 inches 

 long, the border, when expanded, 21 inches in diameter; in 

 aestivation the lobes are somewhat unequal in length, the upper 



leaves are If to 2 inches long, including the 

 \ inch broad. The inflorescence is probably
