Nota. ' N. villosa et N. Edtcardsiana inter sese species simillimae ut pro varietatibus 

 unius eiusdemque speciei possint haberi. Examinatione microscopica probatur, illas species 

 distinctas esse. Atque Burbidge de- 

 monstravit X villosam more Crescendi 

 terrestri et situ altiore a N. Edward- 

 siana prorsus differre. Utraque spe- 

 cies loco natali inter se hybridas 

 procreare videntur (v. p. 54).
