Tbis species is so fully described and figured as above quoted, 
that it is not necessary to enter into any details. I may however 
remark that its leaves are much smaller, and far less coriaceous 
than the other two species, and being for the most part coarsely 
toothed, it bears a very different aspect. The upper leaves, as 
in the specimens in Sir Wm. Hooker’s herbarium, scarcely ex- 
ceed 1 or 1^ inch in length; but Reisseck states that the lower 
leaves are usually 2 or 3 inches long, as they are represented in 
his drawing. The nut is double the size of that of the next 
species*. 
* Analytical details only, of the floral and carpological structure observed 
in this species, will be appended to the drawing of P. Endlicheri.
