350 MR. R. A. ROLFE ON THE SELAGINEE 
specimen, I cannot be sure of it. A specimen from Thunberg, 
under the name S. canescens, in the British Museum is correct. 
S. GENICULATA, L. fil.! Two specimens on one sheet. Both 
E. Meyer! and Choisy! misunderstood this plant; the former 
invented a new name, S. leptostachya!,for it; the latter wrongly 
adopting S. polygaloides, L. fil.! for part of it, retaining Meyer's 
name for the other part! 
S. TRIQUETRA, L.fil.! Two specimens on one sheet. Rightly 
understood both by Meyer! and Choisy !, except that tho latter 
wrongly quotes S. divaricata, L. fil., as a synonym. 
S. HISPIDA, L. fil.! Three specimens on one sheet. Neither 
Choisy nor Meyer understood this plant. Choisy’s S. hispida! 
is S. STRICTA, Bergius! ; and that part of Meyer’s S. tephrodes from 
locality * c" ! is the same plant. 
S. polygaloides, L. fil.! Four specimens on two sheets, which 
are the MICRODON CYLINDRICUS, E. Mey.!, though Meyer did not 
know it under the Linnean name. Choisy’s S. polygaloides ! is 
S. GENICULATA, L. fil. ! (vide supra). 
P. 285. S. CINEREA, L. fil.! Two specimens on one sheet. 
Misunderstood by Choisy! and Meyer !, both of whom wrongly 
used the name for S. polystachya, L.! (vide supra). Meyer re- 
named it S. cinerascens! Choisy also misunderstood this plant 
of Meyer's, and used it with a *?" for the same plant, which he 
afterwards named **S. canescens, L. ? Thunb. ? E. Mey.!" Thus 
nos. 8 and 14 in De Candolle's * Prodromus’ are the same plant ; 
and are identical with no. 58, S. ALBIDA, Choisy. 
S. ROTUNDIFOLIA, L. fil.! Three specimens on one sheet. A 
marked species, rightly understood by Meyer, and afterwards by 
Choisy, though not in his early monograph, where it is quoted 
with a *?" as a synonym of Microdon lucidus, Choisy. A second 
sheet containing two specimens is labelled “S. rotundifolia,” but 
afterwards erased by a pencil-line; but the words * corymbo 
composito" prove that it has nothing to do with the description. 
It is the S. bracteata, Thunb., and Micropon nvcrpus, Choisy! 
S. CILIATA, L. fil. Four specimens on one sheet. Rightly 
understood by authors 
S. VERBENACEA, L. fil.! Two specimens on one sheet. Rightly 
understood by authors.
