OF ARTS AND SCIENCES. 187 



VII. Of Poiret, Suppl v. 4G1, 1817. 



S. CORYMBOSA, Poir. ; of unknown origin, was founded ou a form 

 of S. Virga-aiirea, preserved in herb. Poir., now Cosson. 

 S. MULTiFLOKA, Ilort. Par. See Desf. Cat. infra. 



VIII. Of Pursh, Flora Americcc Septentrionalis, 1814 ; original species 

 only, most of tliem taken up from Herb. Banks, really from 

 Solander's names. 



S. viLLOSA. The S. altissima /3, Ait. Kew., a thiu-leavcd and 

 hairy-stemmed variety of S. rugosa, Mill. 



S. PYRAMiDATA. From " Herb. Enslen." The S. pilosa, Walt., 

 which is also S. Jistulosa, j\lill. Diet. 



S. ASPERATA. Is S. patula, Muhl. Not now observed in the 

 Banksian herbarium, but was once identified there by Dr. Boott, and 

 it was named by Pursh in that of Lambert. 



S. Sarothr^e. From Lewis and Clark's collection ; Gutierrezia 

 Euthamice. 



S. ERECTA. No specimen in the Banksian herbarium is so named ; 

 but Pursh probably had in view the plant referred to as the S. 

 stricta ^ of Solander in that herbarium, wliich is probably a narrow- 

 leaved form of S. speciosa, Nutt. More evidence would be required 

 to supersede the latter name. 



S. MACROPHTLLA. There is no specimen so named to be found in 

 the Banksian herbarium (nor is there any of S. squarrosa of Pursh's 

 time) ; but I confidently identify Pursh's species with a large speci- 

 men of S. thyrsoidea, Meyer, collected in 1779 by Halbgren on Bisque 

 Island in the Bay of St. Lawrence, which is ticketed by Solander, 

 " S. pratensis, var. caule villosiusculo." Pursh's is the earliest- 

 published name of this species, and may be adopted. 



S. HUMiLis. Founded by Solander on a specimen collected by 

 Banks himself in Newfoundland, and on the shores of Hudson's Bay, 

 taken up by Richardson, Boott, &c. 



S. ELATA. The character is only " S. caule piloso tereti, foliis 

 lanceolatis subtus pilosiusculis, racemis erectis, ligulis elongatis. Herb. 

 Banks, MSS." It is not referred to by Solander in his note-books. 

 There are two specimens so named by him, on separate sheets; but it 

 seems that they were thought too uncertain for publication, as indeed 

 they are.
