T h e r e is some variability as to the shape and si.e of the sepals': sometimes they
a r e triangular and much smaller than the petals, in other specimen, they resemble the
petals both ,n size and shape. The stamens also vary in number, but tlicy never ¡o m
more than a single row. The texture of the leaves in some plants is tliin and
branous, m others almost coriaceous. It is possible there m a y be two species included in this
