Leiccas] xcvii. labiate. 879 



by T. G. Een in Damara-land in 1879. Such is the correct spelling of 

 the collector's name, although in the Botanical Magazine, t. 6783, Mr. 

 Baker stated that the bulb of Crmuni leiccophylhim, the plant which he 

 there described, had been brought from Damara-land " by a Danish 

 sea captain of the name of Thure Gustave Ein " ; in the Flora of 

 Tropical Africa, however, vii. p. 397 (1898), for the same species the 

 name is given as Thure Gustaf Een. The genus Eenia Hiern & 

 S. Moore in Journ. Bot. 1899 p. 373, in Compositae, was named in 

 honour of the same collector.
