Weare indebted to the Honourable Witi1am Hersert for 
the fine specimen of this plant, from which our drawing was 
taken. This Gentleman remarks “ that it must have been 
an error to imagine this shrub to be a timber tree in Brasil, 
where it has probably been confounded with some other 
species. The flowering branches (he observes) die back 
like those of the Tree-Peony; and although it acquires a 
woody stem, it does not rise with a continued leader, but the 
eyes nearest the root break stronger than those higher up the 
stem’, Indeed it appears to us not altogether certain that 
this is the Eryrurina Crista-galli of Linneus. It agrees in 
Most respects with the E. lawrifolia of Jacquin, which has 
always been considered as a synonym of, but which the late 
. Jonas Dryanper suspected to be different from Crista 
gall. The figure in Exotic Botany differs from the one here 
given,
