Hillebrand's var. 8 microca'rpa is identical with Wawra's var. 
microcarpa and is therefore preoccupied by Wawra ; there are three 
sheets in the Vienna herbarium ex Coll. Wawra. 
Hillebrand says: "including probably Wawra's var. confertiflora 
and herbacea." His variety confertiflora does not belong to C. paludosa 
Gaud.; it was described by C. B. Clarke in his monograph as C. con- 
fertiflora (Wawra) Clarke and that justly, for the plant has no re- 
semblance to C paludosa. 
Wawra's var. herbacea does not belong to C. paludosa Gaud, but 
to C. oenobarba and Heller's combination (C oenobarba herbacea 
Heller) is therefore correct.
