 Sherard. Flowers the size and colour of the preced- 

 ing. While writing the genus Gerardia, I strongly 

 suspected G. < a'is'ioides to be a distinct genus, which al- 

 ready had been considered so by Walter and Gmelin. 

 Having no materials then at hand, I followed the authority 

 of Michaux. But finding in the Sherardian Herbarium 

 not only that species, but also a new one described 

 here, I was convinced of its generic distinction, the 

 character of which is well expressed 'mlVult.Ji. car.ljl. 

 I have named this genus in memory of the late Henry 

 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 Solandrn grandijiora to his memory, as I have 

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

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