 Taubert, 1. c, distinguishes the Galapageian plant seen in the Vienna 

 Herbarium (coll. Stei7idachjier ?) as being villous-pubescent rather than 

 scabrous. The material of the species at hand shows variation in its 

 pubescence even upon the islands.

 Narborouoh Isl. : abundant ace. to Mr. Heller's field notes. Sey- 

 mour Isl. : south, Snodgrass & Heller, no. 601 (lib. Gr.). Further

 Darwin, a variety ace. to Hook, f., 1. c, who also credits this Hawaiian 

 species to Chili, The identity of the Galapageian plant with the typical 

 Hawaiian needs further confirmation. Further distrib. Hawaiian Ids., 

 " Chili." Ace. to Hemsl. in litt., a doubtful Vigna was secured on the 

 Galapagos Islands by Dr. Habel.
