﻿REPORT 
  OF 
  THE 
  STATE 
  BOTANIST 
  135 
  

  

  sented 
  by 
  twelve 
  species, 
  but 
  three 
  of 
  these 
  are 
  so 
  closely 
  allied 
  

   respectively 
  to 
  three 
  others 
  that 
  they 
  might 
  easily 
  be 
  regarded 
  as 
  

   mere 
  varieties 
  rather 
  than 
  as 
  distinct 
  species. 
  An 
  analytical 
  table 
  is 
  

   here 
  given 
  to 
  facilitate 
  the 
  tracing 
  of 
  the 
  species
