 y*'. Ilugeliana is intermediate between Anadendrum and Uaphido' 

 phura. 



Many species of Uaphido phora though abundant in our 

 forests, seem to llower very larely, and A\hen they do so, only produce

 ground. Nearly all are very ])olymorphie in the leaves, those on 

 young plants and on the long pendulous sboots from the toj) being 

 utterly dissimilar fi'om the adult ordinary leaves. ''J'he l)igger species
