^ (|S) is too near to (a) to be separated as a species without 

 protrf. The marks hastily selected by the compilers of uni- 

 versal systems for the specific distinction of the plants, 

 ^ whik|||k^n^ng the sequences of their page, cannot be im- 

 plici^Trelied upon for decisive separation ; recourse should 

 be had to other evidence. We have already expressed our 

 views of the inconveniences arising from the iteration of 

 species and misapplication of synonyms, holding them 

 among the principal blots in the history of natural objects. 

 Provisional subspecies, with separate synonymies and 

 marks, seem at least the palliative of this evil, and the one 

 we alw^ use. 



iS has been lately introduced from the Brazils by Mr. 

 Lee, of the Hammersmith Nursery, to whom the plant was 

 sent by Mr. Chamberlayne, consul-general at Rio Ja- 

 neiro.
