The present is the fifth unrecorded Amary.uis from the 
Brazils whieh has been published in this work out of the 
collection of Mr. Griffin. То have been the first to bring 
within the sphere of science and into culture an equal num- 
ber of plants, belonging to a same remote region, of a same 
genus, and all interesting, either on the score of curiosity 
or beauty, within little more than two years, has probably 
never before been the chance of any single collector in 
Europe.
