This species differs from lappacejini in so many respects that 
1 cannot at all agree in tho view, even althouj^h it be held by so great 
a master of the order as Professor lladlkofer, that ifc ia a mere variety 
of that Bpeciea. The one-celled ovaiy, single style and stigma appear 
to me to distinguish it at ouce, not to raentioa the absence of setae on 
the ripe fruit and the more slender infloi-escence and smaller flowers.
