found that the /gualens bd been miftaken by Jacquin for the 
fambucina, that other Botanifts had confidentially followed him 
in the error, and that the prefent plant was the Linnean /am- 
bucina ; but as this name is now fo generally attached to 
Jacguin’s plant by the excellent figure of Curtis and the 
authority of the Hortus Kewen/is, we think it more advilable 
to let it remain; adopting Lamarcx’s for the prefent fpecies, 
and expunging -~/gualens, as being a mere variety of the 
now /umbucina ; although in truth the names of Linnazus 
were ftill better adapted to the plants he had defiined them for.
