thority like Schott, who worked all his life with these plants, declared 
it to be a mere tribe of the vsiono^xwowz Aroidem ? Why do we read 
MarsikacetB instead of MarsiUacese (as the leading botanists spell it), 
when the man's name was Marsili, and not Mamie? And why in 
Kuetzing*s name is the e left out?

on account of its containing the most complete list of Cyprus plants 
ever published, with a description of several new species, though the 
list could be much augmented by the materials existing in our herbaria.
