not numerous, and future observers may discover connecting links. We do not re- 

 collect that it has any smell, nor do we find any note indicating that it is a musky 

 plant, like the last and all the following species, from which, if inodorous, it is pro- 

 bably quite distinct.

Chiefly distinguished from the last by being much more robust and leafy, and 

 much less hairy, by having a strong musky smell, by the bifid posterior petals, and 

 by the larger hairy fruit. Both species, however, are imperfectly known, and, like 

 all this group, require careful examination and comparison in the living state.
