hut it riey very v?ell have been the sane as where Cooper collected 

 it. Hav^orth states thst he received it from Salm-^yck, in 1819, 

 and ther^ is a drav.'inf^ at Ke-iv of a plp.nt of I-, ficiforme, stated 

 to have "been redeived from Hevfortb in 1824, thet is labelled as 

 hpvin^ been received from 3ov/ie," vrho ssys it ^ros on the rocks 

 of Zorrmans Kioop pnd I'ange Kioop." ^suspect these localities 

 to have been given by Bov'ie from meriore, £nd I much doubt their 

 beinp: correct. At any rate, the plant here described is the same 

 as that figured in the Ke^v drc-wing, v'hich must be taken to repre-
