The figure of Sfroholanthes Sdbinianus in the ' Botanical Ca- 

 binet/ and which Nees von Esenbeck, in the * Prodromus/ refers 

 to this species, is a very good representation of S. Scibinictmis . 

 It is difficult to understand Avhy Xees von Esenbeck considered 

 the above plate a figure of S. acuminafus. S. acuminatus is a 

 rare plant ; specimens of it occur only in a few sets of the AVal- 

 lichian Herbarium, and one or two specimens have been collected 

 by Heifer. It is nowhere in cultivation.
