OXXXVIIL ARISTOLOCHIACE^. 123 



Species singulse inter se dilferunt inflorcscentia, stiminum stylique rainoruni numoro, yix tainen 

 commode pro sectionibus monotj'picis habendae, StraJc^a indastojuifolia, Preel, est certe eadem ae 

 B, coryrahosa, Griff. Nomeii generieiini Lamarckianum jure prioritatis gaudet, futile tamen erit 

 hodie rejicere Loureireanum jam diu ab omnibus botanicis receptura.
