T'eh above description, with the exception of that of the 

 capsule, is made from. Salm. Dyek's figure, as Hg^yrorth's original 

 c'escr'''^tion is rather venie, and does not agree verv v/ell with 

 Salm. ^^''ck's fimire and description. But I think there can be 

 no doubt that both descriptions refer to the same plant, the 

 difference beinr' caused by Haworth having described from a young 

 plant that had not assumed the adult form.. In his ^evisiones, 

 p. 100, he describes three varieties besides the type, all of 

 v-h1ch he states were received from Salm. ^yck. Original dr.?v,'ings 

 of some o'f these varieties made in 1823 and 1826 are preserved 

 at Few, and merely represent young plants not arrived at maturity 

 and as they seen better to agree with Hev;orth's description, sup- 

 port my pbove exr^ressed viev; that he described from imjn-'-ture 

 plants.
