It is only after much hésitation that I have proposed this species, as it 

 seems rather curious to me that a species evidently so common conld have 

 escaped the attention of earlier explorers. The only species described earUer, 

 with which it might be identical, is D. lorifolimn Mitt. Musc. Ind. or. p. 15. 

 As Mr. Mitten, however, states that the fi'uit of this species is erect, this 

 being the case also with the spécimens in my possession, I cannot but consider 

 2>. kashntirense to be identical with D. lorifolimn.
