There could be no doubt, from an ape of this plant, 
that it belonged athe to E. Meagite ifere C. M. or to E. Bellit Mitt. 
There being no specimens of the latter in ae of the National 
pcloations. Mrs. Britton kindly sent me duplicates of the type 
from Mitten’s herbarium for examination and ae deposit

desirable as far as possible to set the question at rest, and a

firm Brotherus’ conclusion. C. Miiller described E. Mangifere 
from sterile plants, while Mitten’s EH. Bellic was a fruiting Palate 
marked characters in the capsule, and he consequently 
dwells upon this, almost ignoring the vegetative characters. 
Hence it is impossible to judge from the deser Se pwons alone 
whether the two plants are identical ; the most that c e said 
is that there is nothing in the descriptions inconsistent "with their 
identity. A slight discrepancy in the descriptions of the leaf apex 
is explained by the fact that the leaves vary on the same stem, 
from sharply coeriiuase on the fertile branches to subobtuse bar ag 
apex of the sterile branches ; while an apparent disagreement in 
the areolation is entirely due to the fact that Mitten’s desertion

his own type specimens being exactly as C. Miiller describes pes
