224 BOTAKY. 
Var. Flowers small, 3-6" in length ; stems 2-10' high ; mostly depau- 
perate specimens. — It is difficult to draw a line of distinction between M. 
luteus and 31. glabratus, and so fiir as North American specimens, at least, 
are concerned, there can be but one species. Even the same plant may show 
reduced flowers at the base and large well-developed corollas above. 31. pro- 
pi nquus, Lindl., is probably the same. 31. Ja?7iesii is more distinct in its habit 
and will doubtless be retained, though at one time referred to 3L glabratus.
