CALYCIFLOR-E. 45 



Hanbury has also placed the word " No ! D. H., 5 Aug., 

 1865," against the words, Myrospermum ijedicellatmn, 

 Lamarck, thus indicating that he does not believe it 

 to be identical with Mynwi/hn pedicellatum, Klotzsch, 

 (Bonplandia, 15 Sept., 1857, p. 276), as may also be 

 seen by the following memorandum attached to this 

 specimen : 

 "Myrosperm iimpedirellatum, Lamarck, of whicl. the original .specimen 

 collected by J. de Jus.sieu, is at Pari.s I regard as identical with 

 M peruiferuw, Linn, f., and consequently as distinct from Myro:nilon 

 pMlatum, Klotsch. Of KlotschV M. pcdu-dlatum, the only specimens 

 1 know are those deri^•ed from Ruiz and Pavon's Herbarium The.se 

 were confounded by Lambert with Myroxylon punctatum, Kl,>tzscl,, a 

 p ant ^^^tIl large leaves and pods. Myroxylon pcdi,dhitnm, Klotzseli has 

 always (as it seems t<, me) an o^•al (not oblong) leaf which never dries 

 Hat. The leaf is also greyi.sh, the flowers dry brown as if the standard 

 were deep yellow when fresh. I saw in Paris (if I am not mistaken, but 

 Inana maintains that I am) at the Museum, 28 July, 1864 a scrap of 

 Uiis plant attached to a sheet of M. pmictnUmu and' pointed it out to 

 Tnana, who thereujion marked it in pen(>il."
