It may perhaps be worth while to call attention to the plate in 
Hort. Kew. of Massonia latifolia, as to the identification of which 
there seems some doubt. Mr. Baker does not cite it in his mono- 
graph in Flora Capensis; Gawler (in Bot. Mag. 848) quotes it witlilik 
doubt under his latifolia, which = sanguinea J acq. The plate seems 
to have been taken from a Banksian specimen from ‘‘ Hort. Lee”’ 
Dryander notes on the original drawing, ‘‘ Colored from Mr. 
Masson’s description, those which have flowered in Kew gardens 
ave allways had greenish flowers.” M. /atifolia was originally 
he y 
may be considered typical for the species. Salisbury, in a letter to 
Dryander dated 1 Feb. 1791, takes exception to the plate in Hort. 
Kew., on the ground that the petals are not represented as reflexed; 
but they are not so in the specimen from Hort. Lee. 
aaa the M. latifolia of Hort. Kew. is different from M. latifolia 
Linn. f., and it certainly does not seem the same as the plant 
Seated as latifolia by Jacquin in Hort. Schoenbr. t. 455. This, 
however, bk be a for the future monographer to determine; 
my present purpose is only to med attention to the material

BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTES. 
XXXI.—A. Sv. Hinarre’s ‘ PLantes uSUELLES DES BRASILIENS. 
s work was issued in fourteen livraisons, each containing 
five plates, with their corresponding text, the text to each plate 
having its own independent pagination. From the Bibliographie 
de la France it secionil that the work began to be issued in Jan. 
the case with works serially issued in France about that period, is 
misleading. A manuscript list inserted in a copy of the work, 
formerly the property of Mr. John Miers, F.R.S., and now in the 
peonen popes nt of the ein Museum, shows that the plates 
sued in regular order as numbered. The publication of the 
ae was Saracen during 1826, owing to the author’s ill-health, 
and only resumed (livr. 9) on his obtaining assistance from Adrien 
de Jussieu and J. Cambessédes; the share of these two botanists in 
e book consequently itn from 7.
