action of Miiller and Pax in maintaining Willdenow’s species is 
readily appreciated. But when full allowance is made for the range 
of variation that is met with in this group of forms the action of 
Sonder impresses the student as being more natural than that of 
Willdenow and Miiller. In ado opting a name for what is the 
fundamental, though not in this case the typical, variety it has been 
unfortunately necessary to avoid using the epithet ambigua 
that described by Thanet as C. eric 8. This, tow. is the EY nt
