To this apparently equivocal species I have referred a number of speci- 

 mens which seem to agree with the descriptions and figures of European 

 examples. I'he finely but distinctly striated nodes range from 13 to 30 

 mm. in length, Avhile the leaves, counting 30 to 40 in the verticil, are from 

 one and one-half to three times the length of the iiiternode. The verticils 

 vary greatly in their angle of divergence from the axis, some of them being 

 erect, while others spread out yary open, according to the distance from the 

 apex of the branch. The leaves are generall}^ rigid, though curving out
