Mr. Smith has sent three specimens, with different localities 
and dates, under one number, his usual practice. The other 
two of this number pertain to T. appendiculata C. D. C., 
from which this is distinct, not only in its leaf characters, but 
in the distinct free filaments and the form and size of the stam- 
inodia. Karsten’s T. multiflora is nearer T. appendiculata 
than to the present species.
