Brown rightly suggests the identification of Cavanilles’ plant with P. sadic‘na Pers. 
Bentham (I.c. 396) follows Knight (Proteée, 100) in regarding it as probably identical 
with P. /atifolia Andr. Bot. Rep. t. 280 (= P. danceolata var. laevis Benth. 1. c.), and this 
view is adopted by Dr. Kuntze (Rev. Gen. ii. 579).
