I had originally distinguished these several forms as species, 
and considered even that-I might have confounded others under 
the var. a. but having afterwards a very numerous series of 
specimens before me, they appeared to form so complete a chain 
from one form to another, that I could no longer establish any 
lines of demarcation between them. I have adopted Linnæus” 
name of thymifolia, which appears to me to be intended for this 
plant, although he has no specimen so named in his herbarium, 
and although Plukenet’s wretched figure is not applicable to this 
species, or indeed to any other. Specimens of two or three forms 
above given exist, however, in Linnæus collection, but are among 
those named A. ericifolia. A. flexuosa of Thunberg may be 
a form of A. araneosa, or possibly A. asparagoides. For Lamarck's 
A. thymifolia, see A. canescens.
