a good instance of the late R. Brown’s sagacity, that he 
induced Royle to reduce his proposed genus Amphicome 
(Ill. Bot. Himal. 295) to a subgenus of Incarvillea; a 
course which Lindley did not adopt, when, in the Botanical 
Register (1838, t. 19), he restored it, givmg Royle the 
authority for the generic name. 
I. Koopmannii was discovered near Taschkend by the 
traveller whose name it bears, and was communicated to 
Kew by our excellent correspondent, Max Leichtlin, of 
Baden; it flowered copiously in July, and remained in 
flower for several weeks against a warm wall. I retain it 
as a species distinct from [. Olge with great hesitation, 
suspecting it to be a luxuriant state of that plant.
