have the species determined he sent a specimen to Mr. 
Linden, and that the name returned was that of a totally 
different plant; and further, that he (Mr. Lynch) has very 
recently received it from St. Petersburgh as Sznningia 
purpurea, an equally impossible identification if the latter 
is a true Sinningia, a genus with inferior ovary, a 
tuberous rhizome and five glands on the disc. 
Under these circumstances I have ventured to describe 
the present plant as. new, and to name it after Mr. Lynch, 
through whose good offices this and so many other fine 
plants have been sent to me from the Cambridge Botanical 
Gardens, for figuring in the Boranroan Macazins. There 
are good specimens of it at Kew, of which Mr. Watson 
informs me the leaves become red purple on both surfaces. 
The plant here figured flowered in the Cambridge 
Botanical Gardens in July of the present year.—J. D. H.
