Arctotis aspera. Vol. 1. fol. 34. 
Le style de plusieurs synantherées est irritable par le toucher: quelques 
arctotidées nous ont offert ce phénoméne, qui n'avoit été observé, je crois, 
que sur des carduinées et des centaureés. Cassini in dict. sc. nat. 10. 142, 
( Paris, an. 1818.) 
The above notice of the irritability of the style of certain Arctotidec was 
published by M. Cassini, we believe, tor the first time in 1818; at all events we 
can find no allusion by him to such phenomenon in any publication previous 
to the year 1816. The fact had been however fully stated by ourselves in 
regard to two species of ARCTOTIS in the article we have quoted, in the 
year 1815. We think it right to say thus much, that we may not be sus- 
pected of borrowing information without due acknowledgment; not to accuse 
the ingenious writer of the above passage of having done so, 
Campanula coronata. Vol. 2. fol. 149, 
dd the following synonym: 
Campanula marsupifiora Fischer hort. gorenk. Link enum. hort. reg. berol. 
alt. 1. 215. 
Dr. Fischer assures us that the Siberian plant of Pallas and Gmelin, ad- 
Auced by us in the above article for a synonym, belongs in fact to another 
species. 
Campanula sarmatica. Vol. 3. fol. 237. 
dd the following synonym : 
Campanula gummifera. Link enum. kort. berol. alt. 1. 215. 
Camellia axillaris. Vol. 4. fol, 349. 
This plant was puis oy the name given by Dr. Roxburgh ; but has 
subsequently ripened its fruit in the hothouse at Mr. Colvill’s Nursery, and is 
found by that, not only to be no congener of Camellia, but to belong even to 
a different natural order, viz. Malvacee, and to be a species of an as yet un- 
named genus akin to Gordonia, and of which several others, all belongi g to 
the Indian islands, are known to Mr. Brown and Dr. Horsfield. The fruit 
is a woody oblong five-valved five-celled brown capsule about the size 
of a filbert with many upright seeds, membranously and cuneately winged at 
the top, in each cell. 
dychi: latum. Pol. 7. 526. . 
Bede 15 of this species have a very perceptible musky fragrance.
