iThis form Is considered a variety of subtilis by Mr Leng, but, if 

 the character given above is worthy of group value in the case of cinc- 

 ticornis, palmata, hypoleuca, and piscatrix, I can 

 •ee no reason why r u g o s a should not be entitled to specific rank, nn<1 

 have so considered it here,
