These Noa. present considerable differences from one another as also 

 from the type of the species ; but these differences do not appear to 

 be sufficient for specific separations ; No. 3331 has its stem glabrate 

 below and somewhat puberulous above, its leaves more or less narrowed 

 towards the base and ranging up to 4 in. long by 1^ in. broad, and on 

 the barren shoots the leaves are opposite or subopposite ; No. 3345 is 

 a smaller plant, from 6 to 14 in. high, with leaves not or scarcely 

 exceeding 1 in. long by ^ in. broad, often subcordate at the base.
