In my paper above cited, I make an error of identifying the 

 present plant witli R. serpijUifolium Miq. In sterile specimens, 

 the two come so closely that it is difficult to distinguish one from 

 the other. (3n comparing flowers, I have found that both plants 

 entirely differ from each other. The new species differs from the 

 other in having much larger flowers, long hairy sepals, and in the 

 number of stamens.
