As the Eprpenprum /ecundum of Jacquin hasnotyet been _ 
feen by us, we cannot clear up the difficulties which have 
hitherto attended this fpecies. We are however inclined to 
regard the Epip—enpRUM elongatum and fecundum of Jacquin, 
and the fu/catum of Smiru, as three diftiné fpecies. Our plant 
is undoubtedly the firft of thefe; differing in no refpeé from 
Jacquin’s figure, except in the colour of the flower, which 
with him is more refembling red-lead. The flowers are not 
fecund, the leaves not emarginate nor of a dark purple red as 
in fecundum ; and the ferrated ne€tarium feems fufficient to 
diftinguith it from both the other {pecies. If the EptpenpRuM 
Jecundum defcribed by Sovran ver be not different from either, 
we fufpeét that it belongs to this, as does undoubtedly the {pe- 
cimen fo named in the Bankfian Herbarium. : est
