These specimens were all iiicluacd by ¥. Mueller in his 5. tetralhecum, but besides the 

 dilTereQces in foliage, calyx, and corolla, I found the ovary 2-cclled ouly in all the flowers 1 

 eianiinea. They may possibly, however, prove to be a uarrow-lcaved variety of 6. viola-

■ 16. S tetrathecum, F. MueH. Fragm. ii. 165 {parlhj). A straggling 

 slmib, the branches under side of the leaves and inflorescence covered with a 

 doseljut dense and soft stellate tomentnm. Prickles few on the brandies,

 side glabrous or sprinkled with scattered stellate hairs. Flowers rather large, 

 few together in lateral racemes, the pedicels at first very short, Icngiliening 

 to about i in. Calyx about 2 lines long, with minute teeth scarce y^ en- 

 lai-ged but somewhat lobed when in fruit. Corolla deeply lobed, about g lu.
