»Eine Kleinart aus der Vervvandtschaft des 5. nigrum L., deren vvichtigste 

 Merkmale auf der Behaarung (ungleich lange, einfache, mehrzellige Haare, die 

 zum grossen Teil in oft undeutliche schmale, seltener kugelige, winzige Dru- 

 senkopfchen endigen, sovvie auf den schliesslich ziemlich langen Staubfaden 

 und den kurzen Staubbeuteln beruhen. Der uble Geruch riihrt offenbar von 

 der driisigen Behaarung her.» 



FORSTER tells that he found Solarium in the plantations (Voy. I p. 57 8 )!
