This very local but very distinct and easily recognisable Acalypha, 
described by Baillon as a species, has been accepted as such, but in 
a rather modified and somewhat unsatisfactory fashion, by Miiller, 
who has recognised as a distinct variety what is, with little room for 
doubt, a different species, and has included in the variety which is 
based on Baillon’s type yet another and even more distinct species. 
o add to the confusion Miiller has placed all of the three 
forms thus included in A. Zeyheri in as many different places, for 
his own A. Zeyheri, var. pubescens, is also his own A. peduncularis, 
var. genuina; the plant which Sonder named A. peduncularis 
B, glabrata is Miiller’s own A. peduncularis, var. caperonioides ; 
finally, one of the types only of A. Zeyheri, Baill. is left by 
Miiller in this species, the other is transferred to A. peduncularis, 
var, psilogyne.
