Observ. De specie vid. Wight. 1. c, qui jure dicit: „1 ara still un- 

 certain, whether I ought to consider this a distinct species or a mere 

 form of D. Rothii, all three species here represented are very like 

 and if realy species prove this to be a very natural geuus." — Videant 

 botanici loca natalia harum specierum habitantia, quae signa distinctionis 

 stabilia sint aut inter se trausiant? Nam diagnoses Kuntljiauae vix 

 sufficiunt ad species distinguendas. Inflorescentiae compactae abbreviatae 

 aut effusae fastigiatae; petiolus aut subuuUus; folia glabra aut hirsuta, 

 uunc pilosa etsi dein glabrata — sigua diagnoseos firmiora videutur, nara 

 vagiuae glabrae aut hirsutulae deiu giabratae vix sufficiunt*, cf. tabula 

 synoptica antecedeus. 



Descriptio. Ic. Wightii 1. c. plane nostra quadrat speciraiua: addam 

 haecce pauca verba tantum : Videntur nostra apices tautura caulis; inter- 

 nodia maxima Sy^ — 4" longa, folia SVj" longa, 1" lata, supra scabriuscula, 

 glaucescentia subtus pallidiora, acuminata (nec acuta uti diagu. Wightii 

 vult, nec autem icon); vagiuae linea antica pilosa notatae (nec pilis 

 destitutae secundum iconem Wightii); panicula foliis brevior, nec uti in icone 

 magis effusa).
