* [t is with much satisfaction that we name this very distinct and 
beautiful genus after our highly valued friend Rıcnarn Horsman SoLLY, 
Esq., F.R.S., &c. &c., whose general acquaintance with science, and, as 
far as Botany is concerned, with vegetable physiology and anatomy, are such 
as to entitle him most fully to such a mark of respect.
