by T. G. Een in Damara-land in 1879. Such is the correct spelling of 

 the collector's name, although in the Botanical Magazine, t. 6783, Mr. 

 Baker stated that the bulb of Orinum leucophyllum, the plant which he 

 there described, had been brought from Damara-land " by a Danish 

 sea captain of the name of Thurfe Gustave Bin " ; in the Flora of 

 Tropical Africa, however, vii. p. 397 (1898), for the same species the 

 name is given as Thure G-ustaf Een. The genus Eenia Hiern & 

 S. Moore in Journ. Bot. 1899 p. 373, in Compositse, was named in 

 honour of the same collector.
