NOTE. 



In our account of Allium Jiriatum in No. 1035, we have, 

 on the authority of J acqu in, ftated that plant to be a native 

 of the Cape of Good Hope. Since then we have had oppor- 

 tunities of feeing it in feveral collections, where we found it 

 to be perfectly hardy, growing in the common borders ; and 

 were allured that it was a native of North-America, and not 

 of the Cape. We have compared over again feveral garden 

 fpecimens, with the fpecimen of Ornithogalum bivalve in 

 the Bankfian Herbarium (which we had in our Note in No. 1 293 

 of this work doubtingly added to Allium gracile), are now 

 perfuaded that that is the fame with the A l l i u m flriatum y 

 and fhould be removed from gracile (the Allium inodorum of 

 No. 1 129 and of the Addenda in No. 1142, pag. alt.). Redoute 

 has been led into the fame error with ourfelves concerning the 

 Habitat of Jiriatum. We propofe to add the following fynonyms 

 in No. 1035 to thofe already quoted there. G.
