- Vaccrntum Arcto ‘Uveira.” [V. maslerense ‘Link, as 
stated by Lowe, but Sie is oat Coie dates from 1821) must be super- 
seded by the earlier V. padifolium Sm. in Rees Cyclop. xxxvi. no. 22 
(1817). Itis es that Smith includes one the name Pallas’s Cau- 
casian plant, which, as his specimens, now in the National Her- 
barium, show, belongs toV. Aietonlapigibe Ts. but the Madeiran plant 
stands first in Smith’s description, and indeed his English name for 
the species is “‘ Madeira Whortle-berry,” which had been employed 
y Andrews in 1798.. Willdenow and other anthors included V. padt- 
jt in their description of V. Arctostaphylos, but the Index 
sis is in error in citing V. Arctostaphylos Willd. as equivalent 
to v. akies ense; this is only the case with regard to the Madeiran 
plant. The description in the Hortus Kewensis relates to the 
Madeiran plant, of which the specimens in Herb. Banks bear the 
name at first assigned to it by Solander, who in his MSS. distin- 
pags * from V. - ‘ctostaphylos, Dryander subsequently added 
note: “Nil differt a V. Arctostaphylo”’; the addition of ‘the 
Levant ” to the pret resulted from this misidentification. The 
Banksian sheet includes eae eng collected in Madeira by Banks 
and Solander and one from Kew Gardens, to which the plant was 
introduced by Masson in ‘tg
