Profefor Gmelins Linn?'s Syflema Natura. 225 
Meifleria anonyma, Barreria of Scopoli, n. 767, (mifprinted 868.) 
is Poraqueiba guianenfis of Aublet; and though the Editor has taken 
the character effentialis, not from Scopoli, but from Aublet's gene- 
ric defcription, he ftill has the fame plant, in p. 331, under Aublet's 
name. ! 
- Page 392. Chironia dodecandra of Walter is meant for C. dode- 
candra of Species plant. as the trivial name is not printed in italics ; 
and then it is Chlora dodecandra, p. 618. 
Page 398. Rbamnus pentaphyllus, firt publifhed by Linné, un- 
der the name of Rhamnus ficulus, in the Appendix to the 3d 
tom. of the Syftema Naturæ, 12th edition, is the Argan or Olive- 
tree of Morocco (fee Hófts cfterretninger om Marokos, p. 284): as 
appears from the fpecimen in Linné’s herbarium, which has a 
ticket affixed with the name of Argan of Morocco, and which I 
have alfo compared with fpecimens in Sir Jofeph Banks's herba- 
feffion of Sir Jofeph Banks, it alfo appears, that the Argan was 
already taken up by Linné in the Hortus Cliffortianus, under the 
name of Sideroxylum fpinofum, though moft of the fynonyms are 
wrong, and confequently the locus natalis, which is taken from 
them. The fpecimen in Linné’s herbarium, under the name of 
Sideroxylum fpinofum, is without flowers, and fuch that it 1s im- 
 poffible to tell with any certainty what it is; Clifford's herbarium 
is therefore the only authority by which this fpecies can be af- 
certained. Rhamnus ficulus pentaphyllos of Boccone, which is 
quoted as a fynonym for the firft, is a very different plant, having 
really folia quinata, and confequently not at all likely to belong to 
either of thefe genera. The fpecimen which Jacquin has defcri- — 
bed in his Obf. Bot. is now in Sir Jofeph Banks’s herbarium ; 
but having no flowers, only fruit, it is impoffible to deter- 
mine it. ; 7
