Nota. Nomen Swartzianum anno 1806 publici juris factum aeeipiendum est; est enim 

 planta nostra illud Epidcndrum moschatum Harn, multis jam annis ante descriptum et delinea- 

 tum. Nescio cur illustr. Hook. f. qui plantam et iconem Hamiltoni et opusculum Swartzianum 

 1. c. novit, nomen Careyanum aeeeperit. — De odore agit cl. J. O'Brien in Gard. Chron. (1902) 

 H. 151. Observavit in uno eodemque racemo primum odorem Rheibarbari, deinde exeunte 

 anthesi illum foeni magis magisque gravioris eadem ratione qua flores evanuerunt. Adnuerunt 

 omnes speetatores, quibus plantam suam demonstravit.
