" Most authors agree in separating F. ISortH as a species. It seems to us more 
nearly allied to F. m nmlis and F. runf-usa than to F. cuprcolata. — H. & J. G. Mr 
Piigsley, however, thinks the plant described above as " Ii F. Borcei " to be his F. 
purjmmi, while the " a speciosa Jord." is not Jordan's plant but possibly his var 
britannica. A. J. W.
