ADDENDUM, 
No. 1592. CENOTHERA MISSOURENSIS. 
Mr. Pursu has added this as a fynonym of his Q&. macrocarpa, 
Suppl p. 734. In his account of which fpecies he fays, that 
* the figure in the Botanical Magazine is apparently from a 
very weak and ftarved plant. ~The flowers of thofe in the pof- 
feffion of A. B. Lamsurt, Efg. were nearly fix inches in 
diameter, and the tube nearly feven inches long. ‘There is an 
inequality on the edges of the petals, but by no means can it be | 
called ferrulate, which term has been introduced into the dif- 
ferentia {pecifica, and flrongly, but erroneoufly, expreffed in 
the figure.” aa 
Now we apprehend ‘that Mr. Pursi muft have had fome 
other fpecies in view. We have feen a drawing of Mr. Lam- 
BERT’s plant, in which it was reprefented with upright flems, 
whereas our plant is always decumbent. We have attended to 
it particularly this fummer, at Mr. FrAsen’s, where it grows 
apparently in full health; but the flowers are not at all larger 
than reprefented in our figure; and the limb of the corolla is 
always ferrulate, as defcribed, nor is this charaéter at all exag- 
gerated in our figure. It cannot, we think, with any propriety 
be called. macrocarpa, or large-fruited ; the capfule being much 
fmaller than in feveral other {pecies. We muft confefs however 
that we have not feen it with ripe feeds,
