MONTHLY BOTANICAL REPORT, ig 
WE resume our account of the ordinary monthly Botanical publications. (alate 
~ No, Ill. of the Boranist’s RevostTory, the only one we have received since at 
Jast Report, contains a double plate of what this author calls Vanilla planifilia, the Myré~ 
broma /ragrans of Paradisus Londinensis. The author of the letter-press of ‘the Repository 
makes an unaccountable blunder, for we cannot imagine it to be a wilful. misrepresentationy 
when he asserts that the plant here figured has been mistaken, in the Paradisus Londinensis, 
for the first species of Plumier, the Epidendrum Vanilla of Linnzus., This is the more ¢x= 
traordinary, as Mr. Salisbury has quoted the very same synonym from Plumier, and the sume 
“unpublished drawing, as .are here referred to, which is the third, (not the first) species: of 
‘Plamier, the Epidendrum rubrum of Lamarck; and has expressly stated that ‘¢ the Vanilla of 
our shops is certainly a different species from this.” We can only account for it by supposing 
‘that this writer, read only the first sentence in the English past of the account given in the 
Paradisus. The figure in the last-mentioned work is far superior to the one. here givens
