signed to Homalia jainesii, except leaves " striolate 

 lengthwise when dry." And this point is not borne out 

 by the actual examination of James' own material. 



It appears, therefore, that Homalia jamesii is too close 

 tO-ff. trichomanoidcs ; that Homalia macounii is identical 

 with Homalia jamesii; that the only difference is found 

 in the more obtuse leaves of our species, which proves to 

 be a variable character, and therefore that it should not 

 stand as a distinct species, hardly deserving the name of 

 a variety. As a variety it must be called : 



Homalia trichomanoides jamesii (SCHIMP.). 



H. jamesii Schimp. in Syn. ( ), p. 473. 



H. macounii in Mac. Cat. (1892), p. 163. 

 The geographical distribution of this variety of Homalia 

 trichomanoidcs, includes necessarily all the stations 

 cited in Macoun's Catalogue for H. macounii with 

 those given for H. jamesii in Lesquereux and James' 

 Manual.
