 Plantarum, has perplexed his record of the plant, by in- 

 troducing into its synonymy the oppositifolia of Thunberg, 

 which has downy leaves; as well as by separating* from 

 it the UlFoigata of that anthor and of Wend land, which 

 belong to it. We have followed the editors of the Hortus 

 Fvewensis, in terming that the corolla in this plant, which 



others have termed the calyx.
