The syn on y my of this species ia somewliat iaTolved, and the confusion extends to its nearest
ally Or. criiiitum, in connection with which the question will be found fully discussed. The two varieties
are ordinarily quite easily distinguished by their bracts, but intermediate forma are very commou,
and the specific rank (C. multìjlorum) given by Bentham to VAU. farinosa eanüct he sustained. In
the Linn. Soo. Herbarium tlie whole specks now stands as " G. multiflcrum " ; herbaria, therefore,
which follow tbo arrangement adopted there know Q. paidforum Wall. (1828) as (?. imdiifiorum
Bonth. (1835), and know as " G. parviflomm " another species. But Sir Joseph Hooker has pointed
out Bnt. Jnd. iv) that Q. imdiifiorum Benth. is really G. parrifionm "Wall., and has abandoned
Mr. Bentham's specific name in favoui- of the true ore. The typical variety sometimes much resembles
typical G. crinitum, but a diagnosis is usually easily effected by means of the whiter tomentum, tha
shorter not subulate calys teeth, and the diSerent bracts.
