R. BROWN’S LIST OF MADEIRA PLANTS 179 
very different from Masson’s wild specimens, its raceme being 
simple, not paniculate; but the plant which is commonly called 
Massoniana is, as Lowe says, ‘‘ excessively polymorphous,” and this 
garden specimen (with which an old specimen from Chelsea Garden 
se se a from a young plant in early flower, may well 
under it. The aggregate species will of rig stand as 
S. sendionns Ait., unless Bentham’s identification of it with S. 
cretica L. be established. There isin Herb. Banks a ate specimen 
collected by Banks and Solander in 1768 on which the following 
note appears in Solander’s S.: ‘ Plante tantummodo juniores 
a nobis in Madera lect erant, non adhuc florentes; eorum folia 
multo majora quam in speciminibus a Downes missis, multoque 
flaccidiora.’’]
