The discovery, made by Dr. J. D. Hooker, of the identity 
of the Leeba of Forskal with the Epibaterium of Forster, 
has cleared up an error which might have long remained 4 
blot on science. Though evidently the same species as the 
Egyptian, our plant is smoother, the young shoots alone 
being pubescent. The name Leeba was published a you 
previous to that of Forster: we may therefore retain it in 
preference to pendulus, by which no species of the genus 
can be distinguished from another, they being all climbers 
and pendulous.
