The var. molle can hardly be separated from the main form. Curiously there 
exist no records from the southwestern islands, even if Hooker has it in his list of 
Rae's plants. The only specimen from Rae which I have seen in the KH is from 
the Continent. From Parry's expeditions there are specimens both at Kew and 
in the NHM without specified locahty.
