elevation about 25 feet. Referred here doubtfully, but it is 

 nearer this species than any other. Jud^^ing from the various

 -to have no definite characters. Our plant has ovate, acuminate 

 scarious stipules, oblong- slightly narrowed sepals with h)road 

 hyaline margins, the middle green part lanceolate in outline. 

 The petals are pale pink, elliptical-oblong, bareh' the length of 

 the sepals.
