Named by Mr. Sweet, in compliment to John Hunneman, Esq. of 

 L ondon, who has devoted a long life to furthering the cause of Botanical 

 science, by facilitating the intercourse between Naturalists of this country and 

 °/ t«e Continent, and by introducing many new seeds and plants to our collec- 

 tions. Probably there is not a Botanist, who has not derived advantage 

 Jwn the friendly services of Mr. Hunneman, and no one perhaps more 

 '"an myself.
