There can be no doubt a this specimen may be referred to what 
we now call J. Virginia

forms of foliage, the api “ie leaves spreading, spe « em. long,

So far, then, as the Linnean specimens permit us to form an 
opinion, it may be said that ‘‘ bermudiana’’ cannot certainly be 
identified, and that ‘‘ barbadensis ’ and ‘ virginiana,” though a

examining them nd No. 3, inscribed J. Virginiana, to be a form 
with primordial leaves oath, but probably correctly referred to 
J. Virginiana, ; . caroliniana, has, as des pei Sie ee 
foliage, and is referable to J. virginiana. No. 5 was called b 
Miller J. Bermudiana, and was so considered by Mr. Gaproueen 
but on the whole it has more of the appearance of J. viryiniana.
