* Lamarck's description of the fruit does not agree with that of this species, 

 but DeCandolle, who saw the original specimen in Jussieu's herbarium, had 

 certainly this plant in view. If the identity is confirmed, Lamarck's specific 

 name should be adopted. That of Persoon is apphcable only to the more haii*y 

 varieties.
