above cli 孔 ractei’s are not constant. For in many plante of this species

when young, densely hispid with white si i very lia^ir も which become afterwards 
reddish and ultimately dark-colored ; and very old branch lets are often

white "hah’s, and in some with red hairs. Tke color of the corolla of early

to use Maximowicz’s words. 
I am inclined to think that this species may be a variety of ぶん 
indicum or its liybrid form. The chief di 瓶 r が ice between this species and Rh. 
indicum seems to be as follows : —— the former has a few liairs on the back and 
margins of the corolla, and its stamens g が atly exceed the corolla; while 
the la れげ Las no liairs on the corolla, and i わ stamens do not generally exceed
