At the time we published our Digitalium Monographia, there were a few plants which had been noticed by 
European botanists, of which we had been unable to procure authentic specimens. Among these was a kind de- 
scribed by Roth, in his Catalecta Botanica, under the name of Digitalis media, which we referred, from the accu- 
rate description he has given of it, to the D. ambigua of Murray; conceiving that the few differences in Roth’s 
description between D. media and ambigua were only such as accidental circumstances in cultivation might have 
occasioned. Of this opinion we still remain ; notwithstanding the citation by Roth, of a representation in Lobel, 
of a branch of what we cannot distinguish from Digitalis lutea in seed. Mr. Ferdinand Bauer, however, having 
recently sent Mr. Cattley the annexed drawing of what he conceives to be the true D. media, we feel ourselves 
bound in justice to him to publish it. We may add, that the synonyms quoted by Roth to his D. media, particu- 
larly those of “ D. major lutea s. pallida, parvo flore, C. Bauh. pin. 244,” and “D. flore minore, sub-luteo, an- 
gustiore folio, J. Bauh. hist. 2. 814,” although they appear to belong to D. lutea, by no means prove his D. media 
to be of that species, because the description he has given of it is materially at variance with those synonyms in 
many important particulars.
