'The Jaborosa runcinata of Jussieu has very properly been 
separated from the Jaborosa integrifolia, Comm. and consti- 
tuted as a new genus by Prof. Endlicher under the name of 
Himeranthus (Gen. Plant. n. 3860) ; but as that distinguished 
botanist probably had no opportunity of seeing the plant in 
its living state, his character is incomplete in some of its 
essential features. I therefore propose the following as its 
true limits, and annex the details of two other species that I 
met with. | |
