with the same plant marked ' Curassao, Mr. Von Rohr, 1783.' It seems 



to be the same species as ' Krameria,' collected by Gardner (no imnilter), 



marked as ' Common,' on dry liilly pastures in the Sartao, of the 



Province of Ceara, Sept., 183H ; the same also a-s ' Krrimeria, No. 9i>,'

Oliver and I compared this plant with the species of Krameria iii the 



Hookerian Herbarium, and found it to agree witli Kmnicrw, No. 925, 



maiked in (iardner's writing thus: — 'A shrub about 3 feet high with long 



spreading branches, on a low hill covered with bushes, in the interior 



of tlie island of Itamarica, Dec, 1837.'
