Miller, when fpeaking of our variety j3, mentions hi* 

 " having railed a variety of that from feeds which had fhorter, 

 whiter, and fmoother leaves, but which had not then flowered 

 with him." This we take to be no other than our preient 

 plant. Mr. Haworth, who kindly furnifhes us with the 

 fpecimen, has conftituted it a diftinft fpecies under the name 

 we have cited above; and both he and Decandole have lpe- 

 cihcaliy feparated {3 from « ; but (as it appears to us) withou 

 fufficient grounds. At all events if this is really the v ^ riet ^ 

 Miller fays he raifed from the feeds of j3, there can be no 

 difpute about the fpecific identity at lead of thefe two ; unle 

 they ihould be deemed hybrid plants. G.
