 Raf. Salvia do L. auct, on which I have ascer- 

 tained this singular structure of Ovary upon 

 the living plant. Many other sp. probable pos- 

 sess the same new Organ, which is similar to a 

 septiferous valve of half a capsule, being a pas- 

 sage to the capsular structure. Something sim- 

 ilar was found by Bentham in his N. G. Phy- 

 sostegia but reduced to a clavate gland. All 

 the sp, of Salvia must be now examined to as- 

 certain if thoy possess it, or what kind of disk.

 and sp. agreeing with it must form this reduced 

 G. 200 sp. of Sages have been united to it, that 

 ha^fe nothing in common except the appenda- 

 ges to the stamens, which form a good charac- 

 ter for a family, not for a Genus, which must 

 agree in all parts of fructification ! The G. 

 Sclarea, Jungia,Glutinaria,Schraderia of Heis- 

 ter must all be restored and properly fixed. I 

 had formed 17 Genera out of Salvia, as early 

 as 1810, 1 shall now give some striking types 

 out of them like my Hemistegia and the next 

 G. till 800.
