In my paper 

 dealing with the 



Avrainvilleas 

 from the Danish 

 Isles I have mentioned an AvrainviUea species, which I at 

 that time preferred to leave undescribed, having only gathered 

 one specimen. 



As Mr. «& Mrs. Gepp's monograph has now appeared, I have 

 again examined the specimen in question and feel quite con- 

 vinced that my plant may be considered as a representative of 



Fig. 71. Avrainvillea Gepnii Borgs. 

 Habit of plant. (About 1 : 1).
