1 According to Dunal, who has seen the specimens of Lamarck, Poiret is the author 

 of the descriptions in the Nouveau Duhamel, which appeared in eighty parts between 

 1801 and 1819. 



^ The species is founded on Lycium, foUis oblongo-lanceolatis sine ordine, ramorum 

 spinis rarioribus of Trew, PI. Select. Ehret. t. 68 (1750). It seems to be in no way 

 different from typical L. chinense.
