Iris, although represented by n greater or less number of species in all the four 

 quarters of the giobe, has not yet been observed within the tropics. The figure 

 which is found among the drawings of the Bengal plants in Sir Joseph Banks'* 

 library, and which we had formerly adopted under the title bengalensi§ 9 is clearly 

 either jlorentina or pallida^ and taken from a plant which had been derived from 

 some European importation.

Irts fugax. Tenorefior. neapolit. I. 15. tab. 4; belongs to MoaatA ; and if not, 

 Mor£a Sisyrinchium with an elongated branching many-flowered stem, an unre- 

 corded species, and makes the second European Morsu now known. 



We know of only one species of Iris from Southern Africa; viz, mvraoide* 

 from the Cape of Good Hope. In Northern Africa several have been observed . 

 and only one Mor«a, viz. Sisyrinchium, though that genus is so numerous and 

 various in the Southern parts. 



Vestia lycioides, Suprh vol. &*Jbl. 299. 



At the time we published the article concerning this species, a compari- 

 son of our plant with the 6gure and description of Periphragmos foetidus 

 in the Flora Peruviana had nearly convinced us, as it had Willdenow be- 

 fore us, that in spite of a curious coincidence between the general appear- 

 ance, and especially between some remarkable features of the two, they 

 could never belong to one species or even genus. Since then a prototype 

 sample of the plant intended in the Flora Peruviana has been remitted to 

 Mr. Lambert by Don Jos6 Pavon, one of the two respectable authors of 

 that yet unfinished national work; and the inspection of it has now left us 

 without * doubt that Periphragmos /#/«/«$ is the same species as Vestia
