In the account which has already been given of the specimens in 
the Linnean herbarium the necessity for restricting the name 
C. Alaternoides to the first of the three distinct species to which

Thunberg’ s plants is precisely Cc. Alaiernoides, Linn, ; the nearest to 
the Linnean plant in Thunberg’s herbarium is one whion 3 is refer- 
able to C. Alaternoides, (3 lacnjolig, 1 . Mey.

in spite of the possibility of confusion between it and o 
nani allied species, we learn from Burmann’s figure that . was
