W. reticuLaTa, Hook. f. (3), 231; Anderss. (1), 231, & (2), 993 
Rob. & Greenm. (1), 145.— This endemic species which has now been 
found upon no less than nine islands of the archipelago shows the same 
sort of formal variation that has been described in the case of Euphorbia 
viminea, Hook. f. (see Rob. & Greenm. (1), 1838-139). The original 
characterization was unfortunately drawn from mixed material from 
Chatham, James, and Albemarle islands. We may, however, take as 
‘typical the form with a very close fine tomentum, small thickish leaves, 
1.5 to 2.5 em. long, with strongly crisped margins. The leaves are 
rounded rather than cordate at the base, and their indumentum becomes 
decidedly yellowish in a dried state. This form, assumed as typical, has 
been collected on Gatapacos Ips.: Zdmonston (hb. Gr.). ALBE-

Ist.: Baur (this may belong to one of the following forms). Endemic. 
From this may be distinguished : — 
orma acamata, tomento imprimis ramulorum crassiore valde flaves- 
cente; foliis magnis crassiusculis cordatis. — INDEFATIGABLE Isx, : Baur, 
no. 27 (hb. Gr.) ; Andersson? Endemic. 
Forma Anderssonii, indumento ac illud formae typicae tenui densoque 
sed griseo et nullo modo flavescente; foliis multo majoribus 4—5.5 cm. 
longis, 3.2—4.2 latis cordatis. — Barrineton Ist.: Baur, no. 26 (hb. 
Gr.) ; Snodgrass & Heller, no. 474 (hb, Gr.). Cuaruam Ist.: An-

Snodgrass & Heller, no. 301 (hb. Gr.). Tower Ist.: Baur, no. 30
