1 am inclined to think that these two species, as they stand in 

 Wiildenow, are in fact only one ; to which, whether it be 



termed Colocasia or csculentum, apply both the plates of Rum- 

 phius, t. 109. and tf 110./. 1. Much confusion has arisen from 

 the relative terms, minus, majus, and maximum, employed by the 

 older authors ; and both the g-cnuvS Arum and Caladium require 

 much revision to ascertain the limits of each, and the appro- 

 priate synonyms of the species.
