pi. Besides tlie perfect smoothness of its st., 1. and panicle, 
the 1. are stiffer or more coriaceous and the fr. is much more 
thickly clothed or hirsute with copious long pale or whitish 
hooked bristles than in the ordinary Mad. pi. Still the st. is 
branched upwards and distinctly suffrutescent and trailing or 
procumbent downwards : so that, at least for the present, I can 
only regard it as a starved depauperated dwarfed extreme gla- 
brescent state of G. ellipticum a. lucidum supra, from a high 
mountain elevation (nearly 6000 ft.).

A very variable pi. in all its characters ; so that (3, though 
mostly distinguishable from x by its bushy leafy habit and 
short st. or branches beside the other notes above mentioned, is 
scarcely more than a dwarfed or starved state of the pi. from 
dry open or exposed higher elevations (2000-5000 ft.).
