called fo; which fróm the circumftances Fam induced to think it 
was, and that the Doétor was afterwards fatisfied they were not 
diftin&t. This fpecimen has unfortunately no fructification, which, 
had it been prefent, would have cleared up all doubts, as the fpeci- 
men of Hypoglofum has the fru&tification defcribed in the ipecific 
. character. | Since my defcription was written, I have had occafion 
to obferve, that the leaves of F. Hypoghfum vary extremely in 
fhape; fome being almoft linear, whilft others are linear-lanceolate, 
or lanceolate ; and in tome fpecimens they are to be feen approach- 
ing to oval. 
I have now reported this matter to the Society, and requeft they 
will permit it to be printed in the prefent volume of their Traní- 
aCions, that the public may be informed that tlie manufcripts of 
Dr. Solander, which I had ftated to have been mifling, are now 
is I am the more anxious to do, left, from the ge- 
Weel cific character and defcription as 
given by Dr. dani is je my-« own, it gae be fufpe&ed. that I 
had made ufe of his notes, not only without acknowledgment, but 
for my own purpofes declaring them to be loft, when they were 
actually in exiftence. I am happy therefore in knowing, that, 
however flattering this coincidence muft be to me, the teflimony 
of. Mr. Dryander and Mr. Forfter will be amply. fufficient to ii ven 
me from any charge of plagiarifm.
