^ In_ foliage this is so like 0. Waftii, Hook. f. (see plate 2271) that 

 It might be taken for the same, especially as of both species the 

 material for comparison is very scanty. But the very unequal lips of 

 the corolla and the almost included stamens are very different Yet 

 the possibility of their being sexual forms of the same species should 

 not be overlooked.— W. Bottixg Hemsley.
