this. ‘The series of specimens belonging to the Caleutta Herbarium at my 
disposal seemed to me as regards leaves to be very difficult to separate, and I 
found it difficult to obtain characters’ from the flowers and fruit. After much 
consideration it appeared to me that the best characters were to be got from 
the inflorescence, and I consequently have thought it best to try and follow 
Miss Perkins as far as possible and to arrange the material accordingly. [{ 
eannot say that I am fully satisfied with the resuit, but I do not see my way 
to anything better and I should greatly hesitate to make new species of any 
of the material without better reasons than I can give at present. I have 
consequently divided the material among the four species K. chartacea, 
K. cuspidata, K. coriacea and K. serrulata, the best-marked of which is probably 
the last. It is quite possible that the next monographer will reduce at any 
rate the first three to one species.
