A species not mentioned in the first edition of the 
Hortus Kewensis, but registered in Millers Dictionary 
which preceded that work, as one cultivated at the Chelsea 
Garden. Nothing, however, is there said of it but what has

we generally suspect the accuracy of Miller, who inspires 
little confidence as a critic, when we find him recording 
plants as cultivated by himself, which are not repeated in 
the nearly cotemporary edition of the Hortus Kewensis. -
