* After seeing this plant growing in great quantities in the region explored, I 
cannot doubt that it is distinct from V. palmata. Its characters are much more pro- 
nounced in the field than in the herbarium. The leaves are orbicular or ovate, obtuse 
and lie flat on the ground, are purple beneath or sometimes on both sides, and are 
seldom over 2 inches br oad; their upper surfaces are usually silve ry-pubescent. 
The whole plant, as in the related forms, varies from densely hirsute to nearly 
glabrous, NL B.
