236 Dr. Smith's Observations respecting 



No. 8, except that it is his identical murorum^ and not a variety, 

 Ray, like Gmelin, has misapplied the above synonym of Bau- 

 hin to my murorum a 9 his No. 6, a common plant, especially on 

 walls, having lanceolate rather than ovate leaves, several of them 

 growing on the stem, their teeth all pointing forward, and not 

 divaricated^ Ray further errs in his quotations of J. Bauhii* 

 and Gerarde for the same plant, which is well figured by Petiver,. 

 t. 13,/. 4, and given by Ehrhart in his Herbce Exsiccatcc, No. 147,. 

 from Hanover, as the real H. murorum of Linnaeus. I shall 

 speak of k presently as a distinct species, by the name of syl- 

 vaticum. Linnaeus misled me to quote the Corchorus of Dale- 

 champ, which is the true murorum, for this species, or supposed 

 variety. It will readily appear how far he combined with Ray 

 and Gmelin to induce me to consider my murorum a. as the H. 

 jMtrorum folio pilosissimo of Bauhin, and therefore as his own 

 primary murorum. My attention having been recalled to the 

 subject by Mr. E. Forster has not only convinced me of this- 

 error, but also enabled me now first to comprehend the two va- 

 rieties of the real Lianaean murorum^ whose synonyms I venture 

 to arrange as follows, under the annexed specific character.
