. 272 Mr. Roscor’s Remarks on Dr. Roxburgh’s Description 
the segments of the corolla, linear-lanceolate, erect ; these have 
uniformly red, or variegated red and yellow flowers ; and 2. C. with 
the segments of the corolla broad and ovate; with pale-yellow or 
. sulphur-coloured flowers. In the former may be enumerated the 
Indica, coccinea, and lutea of the Hortus Kewensis; specimens ofthe 
two latter of which were sent by Lord Seaforth, when he was Go- 
vernor of Barbadoes, to the Botanic Garden at Liverpool, where 
they continue to flower abundantl y. In thesame section must also 
beincluded the patens of the Hort. Kewensis; which differs from the 
rest of this section not only in the greater magnitude of the co- 
rolla, but in the lip of the nectary ; which in the Indica, $c. is 
entire, spatulate, revolute; but in the patens is irregular and 
emarginate, resembling a section of the corolla. "This plant has 
flowered in the Botanic Garden at Liverpool, and is undoubt- 
edly the same as that grown at Sion House, under the name of 
latifolia. The second section contains the glauca and flaccida, 
the former of which you have figured in Exot. Bot., tab. 102 ; and 
which, as you justly observe, is a most distinct species from the 
cannacorus of the Hort. Eltham. tab. 59, which is certainly the 
flaccida. "There will still remain the paniculata and iridiflora of 
the Fl. Peruviana, and the juncea of Retz, which I have not at 
present an opportunity of ascertaining. e 
Omitting Maranta and Thalia, Dr. Roxburgh next proceeds to 
Phrynium, of which his full description (with his excellent figure 
of P.capitatum) has enabled us to form a decisive opinion. That 
this plant is the same as that of Van Rheede (Hort. Mal. xi. 
tab. 34) cannot admit of a doubt; and thus a figure, which has 
been a sort of common reference for whatever could not be found 
elsewhere; the Pontederia ovata of Linnzeus, the M; yrosma cannafolia | 
of Gmelin, the Phyllodes placentaria of Loureiro, has at length 
found its proper appellation. To this genus Dr. Roxburgh has
