EK. scariosum of Smith is not the F. scariosum of Brown’s 
Prodromus, but is the plant steed described by him as EF. Smithit. 
This again is clear when Smith’s Herbarium is P onuetliol but a 
specimen of the same plant in a ‘Satoudl Herbarium labelled by 
Brown “ E. scariosum mscr. uost.” at first sight seems to suggest 
es. 
Brown's MSS., however, shows that he there entered the plant 
“ #, scariosun § mith” ; and the specimen in question is a 
fragment of Smith’s type given by him to Brown—Brown marks it 
ex Herb. Smith,’’ and on Smith’s sheet is a memorandum, “ give 
Mr. Brown.” Smith’s name must of course stand, with H. Smithit 
Br. as a neu the scariosum of the Prodromus may be called 
EK. Brunonis 
gave the name to the sep and the type of Don’s LF. rivulare. 
F., stupeum Sm., from Bourbon, may be referred to EK. striatum 
Lam. Eneyel. iii. 275, so far as La 3 di sis is concerned ; 
his synonymy and part of his detailed description belong to another 
species, and his figure (t. 50, uld also, I think, be ex- 
ded. Smith’s specime e shorter and 
a 
more rigid leaves which Kérnicke ae characterize specimens from 
Commerson and Thouin n; our example from Commerson exactly 
agrees with Smith’s type in these res 
It may be convenient to tabulate the synonymy resulting from 
these investigations :—
