The type of the late C. B. Cuarke is preserved in the 
Herbarium at Kew. I have compared my specimens with the 
type and found that they are exactly identical. So far as I am 
aware, the description of this species has not been published 
before, owing to the untimely death of the eminent authority 
who determined it. The description here given is drawn from 
my Own specimen, but not from CiArKe’s type.
