missing type may yet be ascertained.* This difficulty necessarily 
leaves a faint shadow of doubt as to what the real C. similis, Miill. 
Arg. may be, more especially since Miiller says its leaves are not 
punctate. Had it not been for this remark difficulty could hardly 
have been said to ~ for Miiller has attached the name C. similis 
Mii 
bras all the gatherings seen a him that are referable either to 
C. semilis, Miill Arg. with younger and thinner leaves, or to 
heterophylla, Thunb., with older and thicker leaves, in a single 
species. Unfortunately the name Pax has used for the species as a 
whole is the one proposed by Miiller for its thin-leafed state ; the 
name C. heterophylla, which was first applied to the species, Pax has 
transferred to a mixture of two nearly allied but nevertheless 
quite distinct species.
