It appears that Lamarck confounded a specimen of out - 
plant, which he had received from Sierra Leone, with the 
Justicia verticillaris, Linn. fil. On this erroneous J. verti- 
cillaris the illustrious Jussieu founded his Dicliptera ver- 
ticillaris, as is evident from the following note, in his ow? 
handwriting, attached to a specimen of our present plant 
from the West Indies in the herb. Desf., verbatim as follows: 
* Justicia verticillaris, Lam. ill., sic in herb. Lam., specimen 
ex Sierra Leone.— Dicliptera verticillaris, J.” As the true 
J. verticillaris, L. fil. belongs to another genus, the name 
equally applicable to our species may remain. But should 
it be thought necessary to change it, the plant might be 
called D. Jussiaei.
