much according to the age; the leaves especially being much 
more hairy while young than in adult plants. 
Our friend, Sir James Epwarp Smiru, first rectified the 
synonymy of this species ; and settled that of Burmann from 
a specimen of his own ; otherwise we should have been in- 
clined to doubt his plant being intended for this species, not 
only from his describing the leaves as smooth, bui also from 
the length of the tube of the corolla, which he describes as 
being twice that of the calyx, and his figure represents it as 
still longer ; whereas in our plant it only equals the segments 
of the calyx. Van refers BurmAnn’s plant to undulatum, a 
nearly allied species ; but this author had doubts of the ex- 
istence of hirsutum, and in this he was right, if it were to 
be considered as distinct from pubescens, which he adopted 
from Rerzius; the name of hirsutus however having the 
right of priority supersedes that of pubescens.
