SUPPLEMENT— VIOLACKJE. «1 



We have also seen Mexican specimens. Our sjwcies is railed by the 

 aborigines ' ClincUna' (tide Vr. (Junltn, tnss. SolaniJ. in herb. Bankn.) Mr. 

 Brown lias noticed that a Chilian species is figured in Feuillo under tl>e 

 native name of ' Clin-Clin.' 



fi. angustifolia : leaves linear, somewhat glabrous. 



Southern Florida, Dr. Ltavemvorth ! Middle Florida, Dr. Ottipman. — 

 Leaves scarcely half a line in breadth, tapering to a sharp jwint. Flowers, 

 &c. as in the more common fonn of the plant. 



23. P. Xutkana. — Mr. Nultall has recently sent us a brief description of 

 a Polygala which he collected in California (P. Californica, yutt. mss.), 

 which is doubtless the P. Nutkana, judging fmm the character of De Can- 



^olle, and our recollection of Mcxinu's drawing in that author's |iossessinn. 

 It is thus described by Mr. Nuttall : " Perennial, somewhat pubescent, de- 

 cumbent : leaves elliptic-oblong, obtuse, apjiroximate ; racemes few-flowered ; 

 flowers greenish; crest none; calyeine wings oblong, obtuse; the fertile 

 flowers nearly all ujkiu radical sarments, apetalous; caj)sules almost circular, 

 flat ; root bitter." J\'«/^ 



24. P. adenuala (Hook. & Arn., not of Nutt.) — We have examined an 

 authentic specimen of this species, and think it distinct from both P. sangui- 

 nea and P. ambigua, tliough much nearer the latter. The caruncle is as 

 long as the seed. As the name is pre-occupied, the species may be called 

 P. Hookcri. 



2. KRAMERIA, p. 134. 



For additional remarks upon the structure of the flower, vid. Bentham, pi. Hart, 

 tceg. p. 13. Mr. Bentham justly considers tlie ovary as monocarpellary. Our K. 

 lanceolata is not K. secundillora, DC, (judging from an inspection of ]\Iocino'a 

 drawing), as has been supposed ; but to this last apparently belongs the K. Ixina, 

 Benth. I. c. (not oi Linn.) 



Order VIOLACE^.

1. -Y. acuminata (DC.) is apparently a state of Solea conrolor, in fruit, 

 with longer pedicels, (v. sp. in herb. vuis. Par.)

9. J', rotundifolia. — Add syn. Reichenb. ic. aot. t. 124. 



18. V. rostrata. — Add syn. Reichenb. I. c. t. 131. 



29. V. Canadensis.— Add syn. Brit.fl. gard. {ser. 2) t. 62. 



31. V. chri/santha. — Add syn. Hook. ScArn. ! bot. BeecJiey, suppl. p. 325. — 

 There is a prior V. chrysantha of Schrader (in Reichenb. ic. exot. t. 114.) but 

 that is probably only V . calcarata or V. lutea. 



Order HYPERICACEiE. 



1. ASCYRUM. i>. 156. 



When the first edition of the Species Plantarum was published, Linntens seem* 

 to have had no specuuens of this genus in his herbarium, and in consequence the
