noted in his manuscript account of it preserved in the Bank- 
sian library, that he was led to do this from its habit and 
sweet-scented flowers, though he could not-detect any crown 
at the end of the tube, and was consequently uncertain whe- 
ther it properly belonged to this genus or not. 
Since the publication of the Hortus Kewensis, this fine 
shrub has been universally arranged with Nerrom, till the 
publication of the last edition of this work; where we find it 
removed to Tapenzmontana. ‘This appears to have been 
done upon the information of Dr. Bucuanan, that it was 
really a species of that genus. The authority is certainly 
good ; but as at present all the genera of the natural family 
- of Contorte are not satisfactorily settled ; we are jealous that 
in a revision of the order it will come to be again removed 
from TapernzmontAna. We think it best therefore, for 
the present, to retain the name by which it is already known 
to botanists in general. [ee
