 altitude of 200 meters. Some of the specimens are very large and robust, reaching 

 60 cm. in height, the petioles of the basal leaves sometimes 25 cm. long and their 

 blades 13 cm. Its place of growth, on a grassy bank near the beach, undoubtedly 

 accounts for this unusual development.

 spicuous in both kinds of anthodia.
