 Owing to a mistake in the remarks on Dr. Roxburgh's descriptions of 

 Scitamineous phiiits by Mr. llo^coe, in the 10th volume of the Linnaean 

 Transactions, we not only did not recognize Canna gigantea of Redonte in 

 Canna lalifolia of that celebrated writer, but were led to suspect his Can- 

 NA patens to be Canna gigantea. Mr. Roscoe, in a subser^ue'*t letter to 

 us. has set this matter right, and sent an amended character of iJifolia for 



so that the front of the above article should be now altered as fol- 



our tise

AVe have no doubt that the prototype sample of the Canna indica of the 

 riora Peniyiana has been too hastily referred to the species of the above 

 article; and th^it if Mr. Lindlcy, v.hose acuteness is seldom at fault, had had 

 an opportunity of comparing the Canna ednlis of the present volume with 

 that sample, he would not have hesitated in referrii^ it to the latter species, 

 to which we have ourselves applied it. (See No. 775.) 



"We understand from Mr. Roscoe, who, according to his usual courtesy, 

 has favoured us with the distinctive character intended for Canna Lamherti, 

 in his approaching work on the Monandrous Class, that the plant is known 

 in some Nurseries by tlic title of maxima, a name that applies neither to the 

 whole nor to a part.

We cannot agree w itli the ingenious botanist by whom the above article 

 w as contributed to our work, in considering the subject of it in the light of a 

 plant that bears about itself that which precaution has taught us to consider 

 as sufficient evidence of distinctness as a species ; and we are led to reserve 

 it for further proof and future decision, under Uie foUowhig front arrange-
