 nandra Sw. auct. — These 3 last Genera lack 

 the very essential character of bearded Stam. 

 that once was the only distinction of Trades- 

 cantia from Commelina,^ but these 2 Genera 

 are in utter confusion, as the above proves. 

 Compare also my genera of Commelina. It is 

 deplorable to see Botanists forcing sp. into ge- 

 nera, in spite of characters. There is no^ a 

 single generic cliaracter common to ah the 

 above G. 22 to 32 ! my reform and revision 

 were indispensable, and begun in 1815. The 

 TV. rnalabarica is probably also a peculiar ge- 

 nus, to be called Talifulia, petalis cuspidatis, 

 ped. longis unifloris. But the Tcad^scantia ! 

 nervosa Lin. is an Orchideous N. G. called 

 Thehfpogon angustifol. by Kunth, what a 

 blunder ! this whole Genus is a mass of linnean 

 errors.
