 of which the figure of Schkuhr exhibits, perhaps, the more usu;il form: onr 

 plate on the other hand the larger state ; while our var. y. to which I think 

 Stenolobus Kunzeanus, Vx. may be referred, represents the opposite extreme. 

 In this, and several others of the present section, the broad pinnules exhi- 

 bit a rather close and copious venation, but there is an entire absence of the 

 striae or pseudo-veins, by which, and by the longer involucres, the present 

 species is distinguished from D. elegans.
