I have referred to var. major only specimens of wliich I have seen or had notes 

 by the collectorf, concerning the ripe fruits. 



The shape and size f.f the leaves, length of the coiolla-lube and general amount of 

 ha'riness are extremely variable, but are characters which seem neither to be dis- 

 tinctly correlated, r.or to be dependent upon geographical areas.
