 Sal. Austr., 1. p. 28., who has quoted as identical Jacq. Austr., t. 408. 



Synonymes. Willdenow has cited, as identical with this, S. arbuscula Jacq. Austr., t. 408., and 

 Host Synops., 527. ; and remarked that it is close akin to S. tenuif 61ia Smith ; and Smith has con- 

 firmed this relationship in Eng.'Fl.,*. p. 180. : yet Koch has cited (Comm., p. 57.) the S. arbuscula 

 Jacq. Austr., t. 408., as a rude and unfaithful figure of S. Waldsteimdwa Willd., a kind which 

 WilLdenow has stated (Sp. PI.) to be closely related to S. 3/yrsinltes; Willd. Sp. PL, and, hence, very 

 different from S. tenuif Mia Smith; and Koch has besides (Comm., p. 45.) mentioned a doubt 

 whether S. coruscans Willd. does not belong to S. arbuscula Wahlenb., but that he dares not refer 

 it to it, from not having seen an authentic specimen.
