 varieties have been named by Lindenberg and Nees. 



With reference to Ju.vgcrmaiiia porphj/roleuca, N., I am con- 

 strained by the examination of an extensive series of specimens to 

 consider it only a variety of .Tfmr/. rentricosa ; the form growing 

 on rotting wood might be accounted distinct enough, if the 

 characters depended upon were only constant, but when the bracts 

 vary from bifid to quadrifid with the bracteoles simple or bifid, 

 connate or free, with segments more or less deep, the examination 

 of a larQ-e series can lead to no other conclusion than that tliev are 

 forms of one species. This is all the more confirmed by the fact
