Those who compare the specimens found by Galeotti, on rocks 
of the Western Cordillera of Mexico (n. 1902), with the repre- 
sentation given in our Plate (drawn from a plant which flowered 
for the first time in the Royal Botanic Gardens, in October last), 
will be loath to imagine that they can belong to the same species, 
for Galeotti’s specimens, at least the two preserved in, the 
Hookerian Herbarium, are only from two to three inches high, 
and have no more than from six to eight leaves of small size, 
and moreover they are clad with a rather brownish than white 
wool. Yet there is no doubt that they are identical, and that 
Scheeria lanata, like S. Mexicana and other Gesneracee, has 
been much improved by cultivation, whilst the difference in the 
colour of the wool is entirely owing to the process of drying, as 
* Erratum. The Subscribers of this Work are particularly requested to alt 
the numbering of the Plate which accompanies this (Tab. 4963), to 4954, and 
remove it to the page of letter-press so numbered in the last volume; and fur- 
ther to alter the Plate there given (Tab. 4954) to 4963, and transfer it to this’ 
eae By an oversight the two Plates in question were thus incorrectly num-
