the plant as a variety of 9. Gardneri (Hook.). There can, I think, 
be no doubt that the plant is not specifically distinct from S. 
Gardneri, since all the characters shown are comparative ones. It 
is interesting to find also, from a specimen in the Kew Herbarium 
and in Wilson’s herbarium, that Wilson took the same view of the 
position of the plant. This specimen is labelled ‘ eeber: Gardnert 
epal,’’ bears a note affixed, in Wilson’s handwriting, ‘‘ var. 
foliis angustioribus, margine magis incrassatis, duplici serie serratis, 
setis longioribus.’’ This specimen consists of three examples, o 
which the two u upper agree with S. Gardneri var. Macleliandit, 
while the lower is typi ical S. Gardneri. 
As regards ~ ne of S. Gardneri and its variety in 
India, the specim in the Kew and British Museum Herbaria 
are to be sorted as follows The plant labelled «124 Herb. Ind, Or.
