[90a]

I have tried to make out localities of vars in Ledebour Vol 2. —but I cannot say whether they generally inhabit different localities or not. — sometimes they do & I think normally when many varieties are enumerated— often sometimes different in same general region. — Generally where they two one or two inhabit same region, one has more confined range, as might be expected, as if more widely different the vars wd be the species or type. Where several vars occur, perhaps 2 will inhabit the same region & others different. —

"I think I may say the vars generally have somewhat different range".— theref

If Lowe marks vars. in Madeira good use to consult.—
