poses Catesby's figure of his ** Lilio-Narcissus flore albo," 
to be a bad representation of the plant called P. rotatum, by 
Mr. Ker, in the Botanical Magazine, t. 827, and conse- 
quently is of opinion that that plant is the true P. Carolinia" 
num. To this Yiew of the question Mr. Herbert seems 
favourable. 
For ourselves, if we may venture to offer an opinion, 
we should mcline to the belief that this is the true P. Caro- 
linianum, and that it is different from the P. maritimum of 
Europe, figured at fol. 161 of this work. Catesby's figure 
may be almost any thing. 
Our drawing was made last Autumn, from a specimen 
communicated by the late Honourable and Rev. George 
Herbert, from his garden at Burghclere.
