In the 1443d article of Curtis's Botanical Magazine, we 

 have shown the Linnean Amaryllis longifolia to be Bruns- 

 viGixJulcata (the subject of that article), and the present 

 species to have been erroneously put in its place by succeed^ 

 ing writers. The substitute having however circulated by 

 the title of the true one in the Hortus Kewensis, Sertum An- 

 glicanum of L'Heritier, Icones rariorum Planterum of Jac- 

 quin, and all succeeding botanical systems, the true plant 

 proving, besides, reducible to a different genus from Ama- 

 ryllis ; we have deemed it the best correction of the error, 

 to restore the mutual synonyms to their respective species, 

 without transposing a specific name by which one plant had 

 been forgotten and another become universally known.
