characters dependable for an accurate separation of the two. 
Too many puzzling intermediates have been secured, and some

means of the varietal classification that I am offering nerewith. 
Several additional varieties could be indicated, but not, as I 
now see it, to any good purpose, especially if based primarily 
upon pubescence. Thus L. hirsutulus Greene has at no time
