IpouCBA tuherculaia. VoL l.Jid. 86. 



This species was published at Vienna in the Eclogie Flantafum of 

 Baron F. J, Jacquin nearly about the same time when it appeared in the 

 above cited article of this work. The fasciculus, however, in which it is 

 contained has only lately reached us; and as we cannot ascertain precisely 

 which name should be retained in right of priority, we merely ofier the foU 

 lowing quotation as a synonym; 



IpoMOiA dasycarpa. Jacg. eel. 1. 132* t, 89- 



The species is spoken of by the Baron, who received the seed from 

 Kngland, as a native of China* Dr. Roxburgh, by whom it was introduced, 

 speaks of it generally as native of India* 



5ARi-EniA mUis. Vol. S./oL 191, 



This plant has been also published by Baron Fran* Jos. Jacquin, in a 

 fasciculus of his Eclo^ which had not reached us when we gave the article. 

 By the date of the Volume (now complete) in which this fasciculus is in- 

 cluded, it is evident that the name there conferred has the priority of the one 

 offered hy us by at least some months* We were not aware of the synonymy 

 which we find attributed to it; and which we now subjoin ;

Dianthera americana. a* flava, Forsk. descr, 9. 



The flowers in strong plants, form an imbricated decussated upright 

 spike, 3 or 4 inches in length. The leaves are sometimes a foot long, and 

 4 inches broad. The stamens vary from 2 to 4 and even 5- Jacquin de- 

 scribes the style as twice the length of the corolla. Tlie species is native of 

 Egypt; and was introduced into the gardens at Paris some years ago. Our 

 figure was taken from a newly imported plant; the inflorescence of which 

 seems to have been a very feeble and imperfect sample. No one could ever, 

 we suspect, have divined the plant through the description by Vahl. The 

 synonymy has been most probably made out by access to some Herbarium 

 which we have not here; or else the prior knowledge of the habitat had 

 suggested a search in Foriikars work on the Egyptian plants* 



Ipomcea obscura. Vol. %fd, 239. 



The subject of this article, which had been generally deemed an annual 



plant, proves to be perennial, and evergreen. 



Iris dichotoma. To/- 3. yb/. 246- . 



We have attributed the appellation of " Scissor-Plant, which this 

 «pecies has acquired in Siberia, to the dichotomy of the stem; but believe 

 that it should be attributed to the shape and appearance of the foliage. Tha
