teeth into disproportionably large orbicular or somewhat 
reniform petiolated wings, it has an affinity with Mus- 
senda. Its place in Rubiacee is, however, near Sper- 
macoce and Mitracarpum. The former Cruckshanksia 
figured in this work, (vol. 2. tab. 90.) having been ascer- 
tained to be the same with Balbisia, Cav.*, or Ledocar- 
pum, Desf., we avail ourselves of this opportunity of 
dedicating the present plant to our much valued friend, 
its original discoverer.
