succeeding authors; although the figures would seem to indi- 
cate still greater differences, especially in the lower bracteæ be- 
ing deciduous in Burman's plant, and persistent in the Carim 
Curini. The synonyma of Hermann and Plukenet, mentioned in 
Burman, belong to the Carim Curini. 
Linnzus in treating of this plant (Fl. Zeyl. 17.) omits the 
synonyma of ‘Tournefort and Bobart, and adds one from Ray, 
without noticing the difference between the plants of Burman 
and Rheede. ‘The younger Burman again, having adopted the 
name Justicia Ecbolium from the Species Plantarum, restores the 
name of Tournefort, omits that of Ray, and adds one from the 
Herbarium of Garcin. ‘The plant which he had seen was that 
described by his father. 
M. Lamarck (Enc. Meth. i. 626.) quotes 4 again Ray, but 
omits Garcin, and adds a plant of Forskael, which this botanist 
considered different from that of Linnæus, as he called it Justi- 
cia viridis. Besides this M. Lamarck adds two varieties, of 
which he had received specimens, one from India and the other 
from Madagascar; and both seem to. differ considerably from 
the Carim Curini. 
Willdenow (Sp. PL i. 85.), omitting all the older authorities, 
except the elder Burman, Plukenet, and Rheede, quotes several 
descriptions from recent authors; but mentions nothing to en- 
able us to judge, whether either he or they meant the plant of 
Burman or that of Rheede, if he really saw either; for the plant 
of Forskael, which he evidently describes, is distinguished “galea 
corolle bidentata," while in the figures of Burman, as well as in 
those of Plukenet and Rheede, this member is represented as 
undivided. The differences, which I have mentioned as belong- 
ing to the synonyma conjoined with the Carim Curini, are of 
too little importance to require a subdivision into several spe- 
cies, unless accompanied by others more remarkable, which
