The late Mr. A. Franchet’s original description of L. paridiformis in 
the publication ee covers the plant here figured as well as that of 
Plate 1982. Following = — he adds : Planta valde variabilis 
uoad foliorum rashes etu 
a stenophylla,—Folia 7 9, veiiciiiaka: anguste lanceolata, longe 
acuminata, 
B iglaae —Folia 4-6, verticillata, elliptico-ovata, breviter acu- 
minata 
But I would restrict the name paridiformis to his (3 tects to 
which it aptly applies, and treat his a stenophylla as a distin t species 
under the name adopted. This appears justifiable, Bursa a and ;3 
equal the whole, and a name of the whole is not applicable to a.—
