in the third group are scapigerous, but the peduncle is more or less leafy and the flowers racemose, the radical leaves 

 are distinct from the cauline. The last division differs from the former only in for min g shrubs, the branches being 

 leafy throughout their length, an artificial character, but sufficiently available so far as the included species are 

 concerned.

I have retained the name given to this plant in the ' Botanical Miscellany,' (vol. iii. p. 137), and also so called 

 by Professor Jameson. Mr. Bentham has considered my D. Hallii as the D. alyssoides of Humboldt and Bonpland, 

 whose specific character does not allow of my deciding the question.
