It was quite by inadvertence , tbat the speciflc name of multiflora was given to 

 this plani by rae and writien upon the plate , for there is a ^otylia nrtiltiflora of 

 Dr. Lindley in Bol. Reg. sub tab. 930. and kept up in ihe G. el Sp. 0. As however 

 tbat plant is avowedly ihe Pleurothaliis sagittifera of Ilumboldt , and as our species 

 bears more numerous flowers, ihe prior name of sagittifera bad balter, perbaps, be 

 restored to Dr. Lindley'3 N. multinora.
