 of Michaux. But tinding in the Sherardian Herbarium 

 not only that species, but also a new one described 

 here, 1 was convinced of its generic distinction, the 

 character of which is well expressed mlValt Jl. tar.l/l. 

 I have named this genus in memory of the late Heniy 

 Seymer, Esq. of Hanford, Dorseishire, a gentleman 

 much celebrated for his extensive collections in natural 

 history, and for whom Dr. Solander had so great a re- 

 gard as to dedicate the plant which afterwards was 

 called Solandra graniijlora to his memory, as I have 

 seen it named Seymera in the Herbarium of A. B. Lam- 

 bert, Esq., in Dr. Solander's own handwriting.
