/<j6 Dr, Smith's Remarks on the Genera 



old denominations not being there quoted, each of them occurs twice 

 in Murray's and Gmehn's editions of the SyJ}ema\ but fuch repe- 

 titions are too frequent in both thofe writers to excite our wonder 

 at prefent. M. De Juffieu obferves, very juftly in my opinion, that 

 •the Wulfenia of Jacquin agrees in genus with thefe laft-mentioned 

 plants. This being the cafe, and as they by no means agree with 

 the original Ptederotay it would be bed to range them under that of 

 Wulfenia^ a name which has every poflible claim to be retained. 

 Pcederota may very well be fpared. The plant which firft bore that 

 name was prev'wujly called Hemimeris^ as I have already obferved, and is 

 .now fo denominated in the Supplemefttum^ along with two others that 

 accord with it in genus. If the name Wulfenia fhould be refufed to 

 the plants to which I would apply it, they mud be called Buonarotta, 

 merely on account of priority ; for I know of no other claim to 

 fuch an honour in the Florentine fenator after whom Micheli 

 iiamed them. 



The generic charaQers of Wulfenia and Hemimerls may be exprefTed 

 ^s follows ; 



WULFENIA. 



Dlandria Monogynia^ next to Veronica. 

 'Corolla tubulofa, ringens. Calyx quinquepartitus. Capfula bilocu- 

 laris, quadrivalvis. 



The fpecies are,
