 , T species is found in several islands of the Eastern Archipelago, and the Tacilic, where 

 ^ne leaves are usually entire or not very deeply 3-lobed; Cunningham's specimens agree 

 ^err well with these, in all the others (^euerally far advanced) the leaves are deeply 3- Or 

 5-lobcd, with glabrous fruits.
