The figure (Plukenet, Phytog. t. 139, fig. 1, and in Morison, Hist. iii. sect. 
15, t. 3, fig. 35) quoted by Linneus under A. pubescens certainly does not belong 
to the A. pubescens of his Herbarium and description, and appears to be a bad 
representation of Xysmalobium undulatum, R. Br. ; it cannot be A. crispa as 
stated by R. Brown in Mem. Wern. Soc. i. 38, but no specimen of the plant can be 
found in Plukenet’s Herbarium at the British Museum. 
33. A. glaucophylla (Schlechter in Journ. Bot. 1896, 455); a 
stout herb with 3-4 simple stems 1-2 ft. high (or more?), 3-5 lin. 
thick, glabrous in all parts except the corolla ; leaves sessile, 3-6 
in. long, 1-24 in. broad, elongate-ovate, acute, cordate at the base,

glabrous on the back ; lobes 44-6 lin. long, 2-4 lin. broad, elliptic, 
somewhat obtusely pointed, minutely ciliate on one margin ; corona- 
lobes arising } lin. above the base of the staminal column and 
reaching its top, erect, 2-24 lin. long, compressed-cucullate, sub- 
quadrate and 2-2} lin. broad in side view, truncate at the top, with 
the apical angles of the sides produced into a short acute point over 
the top of the style-apex, no tooth within, yellowish-brown ; staminal

inflexed over and concealing the rather small truncate style-apex ; 
anther-wings prominent and acutely angular at the base ; follicles
