fol. alt. fl. term.—Very distinct G. sent me 
under 2 names Vestia lycioides and Blairia 
pentandra, I find neither in my Authors, it is 
certainly not a Blairia! I dont know who es- 
tablished Vestia, I give Levana (a "bar, cus 
a synonym, in case it is also a blunder. The 
G. appears akin to the many blended in Lyci- 
um if the fruit is a berry, the unequal stamens 
are a character of this group, omitted by over- 
sight in my reform fl. tel. 261 to 278, thus form- 
ing a family Lyciorpes distinct from Ilexides ; 
the Convolvulides differ by capsule and oppo- 
site stamens.
