* 1 would not be iindorslood to insist tliat the Solannm Des- 

 vauxii is not a distinct species, only that its chaiaclcrs have not 

 as yet been sutriciently marked to separate it specifically from 

 Solanum nigrum. They are both described with unarmed, 

 herbaceous stems, and small, round, black berries; the only mark' 

 of distinction pointed out being in the leaves, and that by no 

 nieans a strong one. In Solanum Desvauxii. Ham. these are 

 '" ovato-lanceolatis integcrrhnis subrcpandis ; " in S. nigrum. 

 Willd, " ovatis dentato-angulatis.'* The plant 1 have seen in 

 Barbados 1 cannot but consider as S. nigrum. Willd. S. humilius 

 diilusum, Br. and the Gumma Bussh. IJv^hcs,
