Cmles sulcati. Folia 5-10 unciaa longa, 4-7 lata, late ovata, basi rotundata vel 

 sffipius profuDde cordata, valide 5-7-nervia, margiue albo-cartilaginea, interdum ter- 

 natipartita, superiora angnstiora oblonga vel lauceolata, longe acamirata, basi angus- 

 tata, integerrima vel rarius serrata seu grosse denticalata. FaniculiB elongatse, ra- 

 cemiformes vel decompositae, pluriflorEe. Sepala 4-5, oblonga, acuta, patentia, demura 

 reflexa, extus fasco-tomentosa, intus glabra. Stamina exteriora scpalis pauUo bre- 

 viora ; filameniis membranaceis, late linearibua ; antheris brevibus, angustis ; inte- 

 riora sensim breviora et angustiora, sed antheris gradatim longioribus terminata, 

 intima fere a basi antherifera. Achenia ovata, compressa. 



A very well-marked species, but varying like all the others, though to a less 

 degree than most, in the shape and toothing of the leaves. The serrate-leaved forms 

 do not constitute a distinct species, nor even variety ; specimens from the same spot, 

 occasionally even from the same plant, presenting both forms.

 glabra ; antherce elongatse. Achenia ovata, compressa, sericeo-villosa. 



Heyne's plant has hitherto been considered an obscure species, and we have seen 

 no authentic specimen ; but the description given by Koth accords so well vrith the 

 plant collected by Mr. Law and Dr. Stocks, that we have no doubt of their identity. 

 Heyne's specimens were probably obtained from the same district, as many of his 

 plants were, we believe, collected on the mountains near the western coast.
