Professor Bojer of the Mauritius, to whom I am indebted 
for a beautiful drawing, by Miss Baigrie, of this plant, could 
not have been aware that it was the M. multiflora of 
Richard, and of De Candolle, for it has been byt very re 
cently published by those authors under that name: nor 
could I have made myself certain of the synonym, were it not 
for Sieber's specimens, above quoted, in his “ Herbarium 
Mauritianum.” There are, indeed, some points in which 
our figure does not quite accord with the description, 
such as the absence of reticulation on the upper side of the 
leaves, (which probably is much less apparent in the recent 
plant) and the patent stigmas; but nothing more than what 
may be accounted for by our drawing being made from the 
living individual, while the descriptions were probably draw? 
- up from dried ones.
