368 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 
Schimper’s Herbarium at Kew (Husnot, Pl. Canarienses, 1866, 
no. 181a), and I can see nothing in its vegetative characters 
beyond a tall, robust form of G. trichophylla with long, recurved 
leaves as in var. meridionalis. Whether or not it should be 
referred to that variety must depend on the value to be attributed 
to the fruiting characters of the variety as defined by Schimper, 
which I have not studied. : 
The var. meridionalis has not been recorded from Madeira.
