Serophularinae. 



Buechnera linearis, R. Broivn. Near Mount Sonder. Bentham 

 already doubted the mutual specific distinctness of B. urtici- 

 Jblia, B. linearis, B. teneUa, B. grandis and B. rmnosissima. 

 Recently Schumann (Flora von Kaiser "Wilhelm's Land, 117) 

 proposed to unite them under the name B. urticifolia ; but 

 that appellation becomes jDarticularly misleading, when ap- 

 plied to the whole complex of forms, because even the typical 

 plant, delineated by Bauer (Endl. Iconogr., 78), shows no 

 leaves, which could be compared to those of a nettle. Far 

 apter among R. Brown's specific designations would be that 

 of B. gracilis as collective, unless the B. Browniana (Schinz 

 in den Verhandl. des Bot. Ver. v. Brandenb. xxi., 194) just 

 described from S.W. Africa, should prove conspecific with 

 the Australian plant, as it would seem from the notes offered, 

 in which case the name would be very eligible also for the 

 species, established by R. Brown. The name Buechnera 

 seems first to have been correctly written by Murray in the 

 13th edition of Linnaeus' Syst. Veg. (1774) ; the genus was 

 dedicated to the celebrated physician Andreas Elias Buechner, 

 F.R.S., who was President of the Acad. Cses. Leop. Carol, 

 at Linnaeus' time, and who published among other works 

 some on Materia Medica.
