As the prefent plant had been already enumerated by bee 
Quin and ourfelves as a diftin& fpecies, we wifhed to have 
continued it fuch; but, upon comparing the living plants, 
could dete& no one mark of fpecific difference, nor indeed 
any difference whatever, except colour and fcent ; we have 
therefore reduced it to a variety of the prefent fpecies, two 
of which have been already publifhed by us. 
Our {pecimen was imported by Meffrs. Lez and KenNneEDY; 
from the Cape of Good Hope. ‘It would be rather difficult to 
fele&t_a good fpecific difference between this and ruéro
