That the prefent plant is the a/pbodeloides of the Hortus 
Kewenfis, is proved by the Englifh name of “ glaucous-leaved” 
adopted in that work, as well as by the original fpecimen. from 
the Kew Gardens, preferved in the Bankfian Herbarium. That 
the editors of tbat work have confounded it with the Linnean 
afphodeloides, is likewife proved by a {pecimen of that f{pecies 
tranfmitted by Jacquin from Vienna, which they have ar- 
ranged with the prefent fpecies in the above Herbarium under 
the fame name. To Mixuer, by whom they had both been 
cultivated, they were well known, and had been diftinguifhed 
by him under different {pecific names, after-he had determined 
that they were not varieties for reafons which he details at 
large in his Jrones, ‘Fhe teayes of our, plant are exceedingly 
glaucous, which is not the cafe in the other; they are alfo 
much longer, with the edges quite entire; and not toothletted,, 
as in that; the flower-ftem in this is alfo much longer (fome- 
times three feet high) in proportion to the leaves. than in the 
Linnean a/phodeloides ; the raceme is alfo far longer and more 
numeroufly flowered; and. the corolla.fmaller and paler. 
Throws up fucceffive flower-flems from. April and May to 
Auguit and September. _The Linnean-a/phodeloides is figured 
by Jacquin in the Hortus Vindebonenfis. Added to what — 
we have faid before, there is.alfo a greatprima facie diffimilitude 
between the two f{pecies. The feeds of our plant were received 
by Mixxer from the Cape of Good Hope, in 1751; probably 
the real a/pbodeloides was loft to the Kew, Gardens before the 
publication of the Hortus. Kewenfis.
