of the Supplementum of the the younger Linnaeus, inserted 



among the synonyms of the present by Willdenow, is 

 evidently a very distinct species, having only two, and 

 those axillary, flowers at the end of each branch. This has 

 been recorded by Gmelin (Syst. nat. 7. 33.) under the name 

 of Gxidia acerosa, and in Dr. Martyn's edition of Miller's 

 Diet, under that of Gxidia Spartnanni. Wendland's pinifolia 

 is the imberbis of the last edition of the Hortus Kewensis; 

 and his radiate is the present species. 



The drawing was made at the nursery of Messrs. Colville, 



in the King's Road, Chelsea.
