Until we had seen a live plant of this species we could 
never persuade ourselves that there was sufficient ground 
for separating it from superbum; but are now fully per- 
suaded of the expediency of their separation. Carolinianum 
is a few-flowered and comparatively dwarf plant, with broad 
blackish green coriaceous obovately lanceolate nerveless 
generally undulate shortish leaves, 3 or 4 in a whorl; su- 
perbum is a tall many-flowered plant, with thinner 3-nerved 
narrow linearly lanceolate flat longish leaves, 6 or 9 in a 
whorl. ‘There are also differences both in the proportion, 
size, and colour of the flower.
