The name /. anjentea was given by Burmann in 1768, and is therefore 

 prior to the name /. argentea given by Linnaeus (Mantiss. [1771J p. 273) 

 to a different plant. The plant described by Burmann has been identi- 

 fied by De CandoUe, from actual examiuation of Burmann's specimens, 

 as /. semitrijuga, var. tetrasperma, DC. (See under n. 15, /. art'wulatu 

 preceding.) /. semitrijuga, Forsk., is /. enneaphylla, Linu.
