The specimens differ from the plant figured under this name by 

 Harvey, Thes. Cap. ii. t. 198 (180:3) by their leaves being neither 

 emarginate at the apex nor obcordate but obovate spathulate and 

 rounded and abruptly acuminate at the apex, by their ovate-lanceolate 

 long-acuminate not subulate bracts, and by their corolla-tube much 

 exceeding the calyx. 



O. Kuntze, l.c, i. p. 37, uses the name Vogelia Medic, which he 

 states was published a few months earlier than the above, for yesUa 

 Desv. The correct name for the latter genus is, however, SjiJuerocarpm 

 Heist, ex Fabric. Enum. Meth. PI. Hort. Helmst., edit. 2, p. 51 (1703), 

 the authority for which is not affected by Seguier having in 1745 

 applied such a name for a different plant. Vogelia Gmel. (1791) has 

 been reduced to Bnrmaiviia L,
