'** The plant described by Sloanc and Browne, beyond doubt 

 the species of Ammannia growing- in Barbados, hardly deserves 

 the epithet lalifoUa, even in reference to the other species, 



f De CandoIIe places this species in the tetrapetalons subdi- 

 vision of the genus, but questions ** an potius apetala?" The 

 flower is certainly apetalous, and greatly resembles that of 

 A. fc^yptiaca, represented in Wiild. HorL Berolinensis, from 

 ^'hich this species is principally to be distinguished by the base 

 of the leaf.
