never have the terminal lobe divided in this way. All the 

 varieties of peregrina in Anderson's monograph appear to 

 have the terminal lobe trifid, and this is splendidly shown by 

 specimens grown at Glasnevin. Miller is the authority for the 

 species, and he describes it " foliis difformiter lobatis, lobis incisis." 

 The last two words I understand to refer to Assuring of the lobes, 

 as otherwise it is difficult to comprehend their application. I 

 take, therefore, those plants which have at least the terminal 

 lobes trifid for true peregrina. I admit four species which are 

 not in the monographs to which I have referred, and having 

 dealt only with those that are in gardens, I have omitted four 

 not yet introduced, viz. : P. obovata and P. Corsica (described 

 by Mr. Baker in his monograph), together with P. lutea and 

 P. Delavayi, both recent discoveries in the province of Yun-nan, 

 of which specimens have lately been added to the Kew Herbarium. 

 I may add that I have been unable to find any clear mark of 

 distinction between P. humilis and P. microcarjpa, and believe 

 they will prove at least conspecific.
