NOTES. 



lycfaides. We have found that the marks which misled us, m common with 

 wili'dfenow, exist only in the defectiveness of the figure and description in 

 the Flora Peruviana, and do not belong to the plant itself. Some unac- 

 countable error has occurred in regard to the seedvessel, attributed in both 

 figure and description to this plant; for such seedvessel evidently belongs to 

 a plant of a different family. Vest I a has been properly separated from 

 pKRirHRAGMOs, or at least from the other species which had been combined 

 with it under that generic title; for besides other differences, as Mr. Brown 

 observed to us, the very essential feature of an imbricate aestivation belongs 

 to the corolla of Peiuphragmos, while in Vestia the aestivation of the 

 corolla- is valvular. Owing to the same misrepresentation that misled us, the 

 species has been reduced by Jussieu, in the Annales du Museum, to the 

 genus Cantua, belonging to the order Polemonia ( ' Polemonidea ) .

Mr, Herbert informs us, that Messrs. Humboldt and Bonpland have 

 erred in supposing this species to be annual; and that it is decidedly peren- 

 nial, with a suffrutescent stem. The same gentleman has propagated it by 

 cuttings, and says that it requires to be kept with a pan ofywater under the 

 garden pot in which it is kept in the summer time.
