In some herbaria I have seen specimens both of M. sparsa and of M. apjiressa distributed with the 

 M. ciliata under the name of M. Sprengelii. I had adopted the latter name for the present species given 

 to it by De Candolle on account of the older M. ciliata of Willdenow ; but as the latter proves not to be 

 different from the M. asperata, Linn., Sprengel's M, ciliata must ^xo^v be restored.
