We have omitted the ftanding fynonyms of Ditientivs 
and Comme in, fufpeéting them to belong to a fpecies which © 
will be hereafter given ; at all events they do not afford a juft 
idea of our prefent variety. The fynonym that we have added 
from Comme tin has been generally fubjoined to erube/cens 3 
_and is diftin€& from the one from the fame author which has 
been attributed to this {pecies. 
The fpecific defcription in Hortus Kewenjis is taken from the 
manufcript of the younger Linn aus, and feems to apply — 
better to affaticum, the flowers being defcribed as “ pedicled,” 
which is certainly not the cafe here; but in that they may be 
faid to be fomewhat fo. Our fpecies has fometimes many — 
more flowers than appear in the fpecimen here reprefented.
