Muhl. Ticketed " Fintleniann," therefore cultivated. Willdenow's 

 own description is inconjiruously made up of the two. 



S. PATULA, Muhl. in litt. Three sheets, apparently all from 

 Muhlenberg. One is named " S. angulata^ Muhl.," in the hand- 

 writing of Sprengel. Willdenow singularly omits all mention of the 

 characteristic scabrosity of the upper surface of the leaves, which 

 under the preceding species he has described from similar and mis- 

 placed leaves. 



S. L'LMIFOLIA, Muhl. in litt. Dwarf and scanty specimen of the 

 Muhleubergian species. 



S. ARGL'TA, Ait. No specimen. 



S. JUNCEA, Ait. No specimen which belongs here, but one so 

 named is S. nemoralis, from JMuhlcnbcrg. 



S. ELLiPTiCA, Ait. No specimen. 



S. SEMrERViKEXS. Cultivated specimens of the species, with 

 narrow and acute leaves. 



S. ODORA, Ait. Three folios of this species, and one of S. nemo- 

 ralis, from Kinn. 



S. BICOLOK, L. The well-known species. 



S. PETiOLARis, Ait. The plant of fol. 2 " v. v." is European ^S". 

 Virgcmrea. Fol. 1 contains an indigenous S. speciosa, Nutt., from 

 Muhlenberg. 



S. STRiCTA, Ait. Truly the species of Solander, viz. S. virgata, 

 Michx., a leafy cultivated specimen, from Hunnemann, probably sent 

 from some English garden. 



S. LAXCEOLATA, L. A Cultivated and an indigenous specimen, the 

 latter from Richard. 



S. c.ESiA, L. Fol. 2 and 3 are true, from Muhlenberg; fol. 1 

 is some other cultivated plant. 



S. iiisPiDA, Muhl. in litt. Upper part of a plant of S. bicolor, 

 var. concolor. 



S. L^viGATA, Ait. Two folios of the broader-leaved S. seynper- 

 virens, sent by Muhlenberg. " Pedunculi villosi " does not apply to 

 them ; they are barely pubescent. 



S. Mexicana, L. From Hunnemann ; same as the foregoing. 



S. viMiis^EA, Ait. Cultivated specimen of a narrow-leaved, less 

 succulent, open-paniculate state of »S'. semper virens, L. 



S. FLEXiCAULis, L. Three folios of S. latifolia^ Torr. and Gray.

 Virgcmrea, and a specimen perhaps of S. latifolia, L., in an altered 

 condition.
