 We trust that the above characters will be found sufficient 

 for distinguishing the G. pyriforme, and G. fasciculare, which 

 in many respects bear a considerable resemblance to each other. 

 Both have the same thin delicate leaves with large reticula- 

 tions. The present species is the larger and stouter plant of 

 the two. 



13. G. tenue ; stem scarcely any, inferior leaves very short ovato- 

 lanceolate, superior linear-lanceolate, all of them erect obtuse 

 with a strong nerve disappearing below the point, capsule 

 oblong. (TAB. VII.)
