After the account which has been given offaniculaceus, it will not 

 be furprifmg that this plant fhould aifo have been the fubject of 

 much error; and that it fhould have been defcribed as bearing 

 veficles or air bladders ; which has tended to confound it, not only 

 with foeniculaceus, but alfo with abrotanifolius zndjibro/us. What have 

 been taken for veficles, on the mod careful examination with good 

 glafles, evidently appear to be congeries of feed-bearing tubercles : 

 and this is farther confirmed by the irregularity of their fhape ; 

 for, though they are generally oval, they vary confiderably in their 

 proportional length and thicknefs, and fome of the terminal ones are
