This and the two following should receive new names as the 

 varietal names are antedated by similar ones used as specific else- 

 where in the genus. The species needs, however, a thorough re- 

 vision and in my opinion several species are included in it. It is 

 therefore best perhaps to leave the names as they are until someone 

 undertakes to study the plants critically. Most of the specimens 

 cited below have been determined by Professor Bailey.
