  Although 
  this 
  species 
  may 
  usually 
  be 
  recognized 
  by 
  the 
  roughnees 
  of 
  

   Ibe 
  upper 
  leaf-surface, 
  the 
  most 
  certain 
  characters 
  are 
  to 
  be 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  

   stone, 
  which 
  separates 
  it 
  from 
  any 
  species 
  with 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  likely 
  to 
  be 
  

   confused. 
  The 
  stone 
  approaches 
  that 
  of 
  C. 
  candidis.n>ua, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  so 
  

   globular, 
  and 
  the 
  character 
  of 
  the 
  leaf 
  pubescence 
  would 
  not 
  permit 
  these 
  

   wo 
  species 
  to 
  be 
  confounded. 
  It 
  is 
  hardly 
  safe 
  to 
  separate 
  the 
  var.

  the
