A larger Brazilian species, closely allied to the preceding, was ga- 

 thered by Dr. Pohl in the desert pastures of S. Isabel, and has also 

 been sent to me by the Academy of Petersburgh, gathered in the dry 

 pastures of the Minas Geraes. It may be thus distinguished :

 quam in 2\ penicillata.
