SHORTER NOTES 
ON THE IDENTITY OF Dolichos unguiculatus LINNAEUS.—In 
the first edition of the Species Plantarum Linnaeus described a 
. plant from Barbados as Dolichos unguiculatus, the binomial being 
based on an earlier description in the Hortus Upsalensis, 1748, 
p.214. The original description in the latter work is as follows: 
“ DoricHos leguminibus subcylindraceis capitatis: acumine re-
