Obs. This is tlie Apocynum frutescens Linn., of which I 

 have examined the original specimen in Hernaann's herba- 

 rium. The Quirivelia Zeylanica of Lamarck and Poiret, in 

 Encycl. method, botan. vol. 6, p. 42, considered by them as 

 Linnseus's plant, must, from the description, be widely 

 different, and probably does not belong to the same natural 

 family.
