An stirps iiostra rite ad specicra Wickstroemianam rc- 

 lata? au potius mera P, Jlltformis forma? Bracteac cuiiu 

 paleaceae, quae pracsertim auctorem ad distingiieudam Lanc 

 speciem indiixisse videiitur, neque in Lac ipsa conslantcr 

 tales inveniuntur, neqne in affiuibns (praecipne P. ericoide) 

 semper desiderantur. Neque minus et ramulorum tomentum 

 variare videtur, quod in var, ß. falcifolki intcrduin sub- 

 lauuginosum et in P. ericoidis specimiue omnino ejusdcm 

 crassitiei ac in P. paleacea videmus.
