96 Dr. Smith's Remarks on the Genera 



old denominations not being there quoted, each of them occurs twice 

 in Murray's and Gmelin's editions of the Syjlcma ; but fuch repe- 

 . titions are too frequent in both thofe writers to excite our wonder 

 at prefent. M. De Juflieu obferves, very juftly in my opinion, that 

 the H'ulfcn'm of Jacquin agrees in genus with thcfe laft-mentioned 

 plants. This being the cafe, and as they by no means agree with 

 the original Pdderota, it would be befl to range them under that of 

 .n'ulfenia, a name which has every poffible claim to be retained. 

 Pivderota may very well be fpared. The plant which firfl: bore that 

 name was previoujly called Hemimerisy as I have already obferved, and is 

 now fo denominated in the Suppkvientum^ along with two others that 

 accord with it in genus. If the name IVulfenii^ fhould be refufed to 

 the plants to which I would apply it, they muft be called Buonarotta^ 

 merely on account of priority ; for I know of no other claim to 

 fuch an honour in the Florentine fenator after whom Micheli 

 named them. 



The generic charaders oiWulfetila and Hcmimeris may be exprefljed 

 as follows : 



WULFENIA. 



Diandr'ta Monogynlay next to Veronica. 

 Corolla tubulofa, ringens. Calyx quinquepartitus. Capfula bilocii- 

 laris, quadrivalvis. 



The fpecies are, 

 J. W. Buonarotta, caule foliofo, corolla labio fuperiore indivifo. 

 1. fF. Jgeria, caule foliofo, coroUae labio fuperiore emarginato. 

 3. IV. carinthiaca^ caule nudo, foliis crenatis. 



HEMIMERIS. 



DiJynamia Angiofpermiay next to Antirrhinum. 

 Calyx quinquepartitus. Corolla rotata, refupinata, bafi gibbofa, hinc 

 fiiTa. Filamcnta glabra. Capfula bilocularis.
