Centuria, both of which are referred to by Linnzus as syno- 
nyms of his Corropsis lanceolata; or if any hesitation can 
arise, it must be from the form of the seed, the magnified 
outline of which, in our figure, is represented as oblong; 
but it is not improbable that the form of the seed may vary 
in different parts of the disk. — 
The only species with which it can be confounded is 
the auriculata ; if indeed lanceolata and auriculata are not 
mere varieties of the same species, which seems to us highly 
probable, and was perhaps the opinion of the accurate 
Norra, as he has omitted the latter in his enumeration 
of the species. The ciliz on the leaves vary very much in 
different specimens, and in our plant were not visible to 
the naked eye.
