If the principle of the priority of the name first accompanied by a de- 

 scription be adhered to, Blume's name will have to be adopted. Unlike Wal- 

 lich, Roxburgh described and figured the plants that he named, and unfor- 

 tunate circumstances beyond his control and finally death prevented their 

 publication : hence I consider that his FLortios Benghcdensis claims 

 priority.
