In the systematic arrangement and description of the genera and species, it is with regret 

 that I have been unable to avail myself more largely of the elaborate monograph of De 

 Vriese (* Goodenoviese/ 4to, Hoarlera, 1854), but the extraordinary confusion in both genera 

 and species, as well of characters as of synonyms and identifications displayed in that work, 

 and in the Hookerian and other herbaria that were placed at the author's disposal and which 

 he has named, show that he could scarcely have formed any definite idea of his own genera 

 or species, and that in working he must have generally contented himself with outer aspect, 

 very rarely resorting to analysis. I feel therefore compelled to reject as doubtful those few 

 of his species of which I have seen no tolerably authentic specimen.
