nob.): but this is a discovery ulterior to the publication of 
Mr. Holl; and the plant is therefore placed amongst the 
Aspidia for comparison, as by him it would have been, unless

formerly applied to the Madera, or Funchal, plant, by Swartz 
himself, yet with a degree of hesitation, **A Madera forsan

Madera plant decidedly a very distinct and well-marked spe- 
cies, not only from fragrans, but'from all others; and shall 
shortly describe it as such in the Camb. Trans., by the name of 
C. Maderensis. The scent which Mr. Holl compares to 
that of cinnamon, appears to my organs, as well as to those of 
others to whom I have submitted it, exactly similar to that
