This appears to be a very common trco ia Porak ; for there ia large unite of

ttorvoB ou tlie loavea, as itlso in the leDgtli of the panicles ; but I ciinnot mnko 
otifc more than one species. Maingay'a apecimen (Kew Bistnb.) ]Ji39 looks as if 
it might be different. Tlioi'a only a sinpfle eheet of it at CRlcsitta, and no flower
