  Hooker 
  is 
  correct 
  in 
  synonyniizing/f//i 
  with 
  nbnonnU. 
  Except 
  for 
  

   the 
  abnormal 
  discocubitus 
  of 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  the 
  latter, 
  the 
  two 
  types 
  are 
  

   virtually 
  identical, 
  and 
  I 
  have 
  labeled 
  a 
  apecinuMi 
  in 
  the 
  Nafional 
  

   Museum 
  that 
  I 
  compared 
  with 
  both 
  types 
  as 
  a 
  homotype 
  of 
  both 
  

   species.
