* « A plant of the Liliaceous, or Patrician Order, which I have named 
after James Bropie, Esq. F. L. 8. of Brodie, in North Britain, a gentleman, 
whose scientific merits, whose various discoveries, and whose liberal commu- 
nications on every occasion, tending to elucidate the Botany of his own country 
in particular, require no elaborate display before the Linnean Society.’—
