plant is quite easily distinguishable from the type of C. Idrsuta LINN., 

 it is advicable, in my opinion, to regard it as representing a variety of the 

 type, rather tliau to regard it as a form of it.

A very pretty herb ; the only species belonging to tliis genus in For- 

 mosa. The flowers and fruits of the plant resemble those of DroJxi. But, 

 on account of its being quite glabrous, it should be referred to the present 

 genus.
