I am unable to satisfy myself of the identity of this plant with the 
U. striatula of Smith, from the imperfect examples preserved in the 
Smithian herbarium or the British Museum. If they be not the same 
species, they are certainly very closely allied, as already noted by Ben- 
jamin, who, indeed, quotes Smith's name as synonymous with U. orbi- 
culata. Benjamin is certainly in error in describing the lower lip of the 
corolla in the latter plant as 4-lobed.
