it only as a variety. At the fame time we are inclined to think 
that thofe plants which have flowers on long peduncles, refleéted 
as the fruit ripens, may form a {pecies diftinét from thofe with 
nearly feffile flowers, as in the two figures in Lamarcx’s IIluftra- 
tions. Judging, however, from the figures given by different 
authors, none of their plants feem to have had entirely feffile 
flowers ; and in fome, the length of this part is fuch as to make 
it doubtful to which fpecies they ought to be referred: perhaps, 
therefore, they may be all merely varieties of the fame. 
The fpecies is faid to occur in maritime places both in the 
Eaft and Weft-Indies. Our variety is a native of Cuba.
