          [crossed out : common plant] found here, or whether
 it is a new locality of recent origin.
 As the plants seem to one to be fewer
 and smaller than where I saw them
 nearly 11 years ago, I incline to 
 the former view.


 The following are my notes made
 at the time of collection.


 "Pachystima ? - Procumbent, leaves revolute,
 serrulate from the middle to the obtuse
 tip, short petioled, evergreen; branches quadranglar;
 root very long & tough yellow; peduncles
 axillary from near the termination of last
 year's branches, 1,2 to 3 flowers; pedicels
 two-bracted near the base, bracts small,
 acute, sepals 4 orbicular obtuse; petals 4
 or often very caducous or wanting, ovate-
 lanceolate in outline, obtuse [soon?] revolute
 outwards and withering or falling, inserted 
 just under the disc. Stamens alternate with
 the petals inserted on the disc, filaments short 
 anthers roundish; style short, stigma capitulate"
