It appears, from the researches of Dr. Grisebach, that 
Lisianthus Russellianus, this plant, and another or two like 
them, constitute a peculiar genus, which Mr. Bentham called 
Urananthus, but which had been previously named Eustoma 
by the late Professor Don. 
It is therefore necessary to cancel the common name of 
this plant in favour of that which is now given. Under the 
designation of Lisianthus glaucifolius the species is circulating 
among gardeners as something new; but it is in truth a 
Midas respectable for its antiquity, having been described 
Mus «o by Lamarck under the name of Lisianthus exaltatus, 
b sg er as L. glaucifolius. It is the celebrity of L. 
“pm Ea that has again brought it into notice.
