 lich's var. parasitica, the third is the remote ^. micrantha. The distributed sheets of 

 Wall. Cat. 766 contain these three plants mixed in varying proportions.

Leaves 4 by 1| in. Sepals sometimes nearly free, narrowly lanceolate, sometimes 

 united half-way. — Scarcely separable from JS. grandiflora var. parasitica, but has 

 broader leaves, and comes from a different area.

Leaves 4 by \\ in. Pedicels often numerous, sometimes i in., sometimes capitate. 

 Calyx (in the typical plant) deeply divided, tube wide subcampanulate, lobes lanceo- 

 late ; in H.f. ^ T. n. 15, calyx-tube narrow-cylindrio teeth sublinear as long as the 

 tube. Anthers (in the typical plant) farexserted; in all the numerous examples of 

 S.f. S( T. very shortly exserted. — Hardly distinguishable from ^. ramosissima, but 

 by the small calyx.

Stem somewhat slender, elongate, branching, rooting at the nodes, terete. Leaves

 Examples imperfect; the species is certainly distinct if, as Brown says, "semiua
