I have identified Hedera parasitica, Don, with H. glauca, Wall., by 
means of the authentic specimens, one existing in the British Museum, 
the other in Burlington House. Hedera acuminata, which Thwaites 
its five free styles. Leaflets quite entire, with the exception of the 
ultimate one, almost sessile; umbels globose terminal, simple or com- 
pound, springing from scaly buds.

Wight and Arnott separate the trifoliate from the 5-foliate form, 
stating that they had never seen a plant where both kinds of leaves 
occur. There are no other differences between those two supposed spe- 
cies; and, as I have seen specimens with both 3- and 5-foliolate leaves, 
I have no hesitation in uniting them under the oldest specific name.
