As a Later homonym Schlechtcudal's name Lotus tou'nuuts must be rejected 

 and replaced by a new name. The epithet tweninsis here given for this tftt&IJ 

 plant, which is found in most temperate ruland parts of A tistrrtlin (except 



Tasmania), in allusion to the colour of its Rowers — -the. keels are almost 

 dark red.

 particularly t*\ Mueller anrl Bentham, have expressed doubts about the specific 

 merit of ssOttte o( these. Although leaf characters are the chief criteria t&cd 

 hi defining most spevie_s of huphvhtiliitm, P. buHafitta J M. Black «s here 

 reduced to a variety of P, <j(atrtitt4osutis Hook. The leaver of the variety are 

 usually very deeply channelled, prominently keeled and without revolutc 

 AftftYgi/Cte; those 0* the typical form are neither channelled, above uor promi- 

 nently keeled below, but have lcaf-roaryins winch arc sometimes so revolute 

 that the fewer surfaces ol the leaves are almost completely hidden. Ajrart 

 from these differences, the two varieties cannot he separated from one another 

 by any characters, except perhaps in the degree of hairiness on the lower part 

 nf the style (which is stdtele-ntUFv m bulfatttoti but usually gfabrous in the 

 typical form). There are no apparent differences, between the ventures of 

 the two varieties.
