dently of its glaucous leaves, decumbent habit, and whole- 

 coloured flowers, has less shaggy and more linear fruit. 



My reasons for admitting the genus Godetia have been 

 already given at fol. 1829, in the note. 



The relationship of Godetia and Oenothera to Fuchsia is 

 admitted on all hands ; and everything that appertains to 

 the latter beautiful genus is so generally interesting that 

 I gladly avail myself of the present opportunity of pub- 

 lishing a memorandum, for which I am indebted to Mr. 

 Allan Cunningham, concerning two apetalous species, one 

 of which has already been figured in the Flora Peruviana, 

 and the other lately discovered by Mr. Richard Cunning- 

 ham in New Zealand.
