DESCRIBED BY LINNEUS ETC. 351 
S. urgTA, L. fil.! Two specimens on one sheet. Choisy, in 
his early Monograph ( Mem. Selag. p. 37), referred another plant 
to this name, which Meyer corrected, although he wrongly made 
it a variety of S. fasciculata, L. In De Candolle’s * Prodromus ' 
(p. 16) Choisy accepted Meyer’s determination of the true S. 
hirta, L. fil., but gave the name S. qUApnANGULARIS ! to Meyer's 
variety hirta !, though he again complicated matters by wrongly 
accepting as S. decumbens, Thunb., some specimens in the Berlin 
Herbarium under that name. Thus nos. 42 and 56 in De Can- 
dolle's * Prodromus’ are both S. quadrangularis, Choisy. 
P. 286. Hebenstreitia erinoides, L. fil.! One specimen of 
Discutsma FLACCUM, E. Mey.!, though Meyer did not know it 
under the Linnzan name. Choisy wrongly refers “H. erinoides, 
Berg. et Linn. Suppl. p. 286," to Dischisma ciliatum, and “H. 
erinoides, Thunb. Fl. Cap. 478? non Berg.,” to D. chamedryfolium, 
Walp.; but there is no H. erinoides, Berg., whose book is four 
years older, and the plant of L. fil. and Thunb. is one identical 
specimen ; besides which D. chamedryfolium, Walp., is identical 
with D. flaccum, E. Mey., though Choisy keeps them distinct. 
H. fruticosa, L. fil. Two specimens on one sheet, labelled 
“‘Selago fruticosa,” but the type of the description nevertheless. 
lt is, however, a true Dischisma, which I propose to call D. 
FRUTICOSA. Neither Meyer nor Choisy understood the plant; 
Meyer's “H. fruticosa (Thunb. ?), Sims !,” is not the plant of L. fil., 
and Choisy simply followed Meyer. 
Species originally published in Murray's *Systema Nature (1784). 
This work is the fourteenth edition of Linnzeus’s ‘ Syst. Nat.’ 
and usually misquoted “ Linn." 
P. 57. Eranthemum angustifolium, Murr. Founded on Selago 
dubia, L.!, and is AGATHELPIS ANGUSTIFOLIA, Choisy! 
Species originally published in Thunberg’s ‘Prodromus Plantarum 
Capensiwm (1794)*. 
P. 99. SELAGO ARTICULATA, Thunb.! Two specimens on one 
* Thunberg's herbarium is in one respect very puzzling. Some of the book- 
names do not appear on the sheets at all; so that the first impression received 
is that the herbarium is not complete, and that Thunberg had more than one 
plant represented by many of his names (this he had in some instances, but not 
in so many as his herbarium would lead one to infer): Hebenstreitia fruticosa, 
H. scabra, and Selago bracteata would appear to be missing ; while S. rotundi- 
folia would seem to represent 2 species, and S. fruticosa 3 species of 2 genera (see
