__In consequence of the fruiting and flowering specimens of C, 
Hemsleyi and C. poliophylla, having been intermixed in the dis. 
tribution of the specimens collected by Wilson, some difficult 
points arose, which the discovery of the mistake has cleared up. 
CU. Hemsleyi has closely appressed hairs on the underside of the 
leaf, whilst in C. poliophylla the hairs are curled and projecting.

with me, I believe, on this point.
