SCROPHTILARINaE. 



Buechnera linearis, R. Brown. Near Mount Sonder. Bentham already 

 doubted the mutual specific distinctness of B. urticifolia, B. linearis, B. 

 tenella, B. grandis, and B. ramosissima. Recently Schumann (Flora von 

 Kaiser Wilhelm's Land, 117) proposed to unite them under the name B. 

 urticifolia ; but that appellation becomes particularly misleading when 

 applied to the whole complex of forms, because even the typical plant, 

 delineated by Bauer (Endl. Iconogr., 78) shows no leaves which could 

 be compared to those of a nettle. Far apter among R. Brown's specific 

 designations would be that of B. gracilis as collective, unless the B. 

 Browniana (Schinz in den Verhandl. des Bot. Ver. v. Brandenb. xxi., 

 194) just described from S.W. Africa, sbould prove conspecific with the 

 Australian plant, as it would seem from the notes offered, in which 

 case the name would be very eligible also for the species established 

 by R. Brown. The name Buechnera seems first to have been correctly 

 written by Murray in the 13th edition of Linnaeus' Syst. Veg. (1774) ; 

 the genus was dedicated to the celebrated physician Andreas Elias 

 Buechner, F.R.S., who was president of the Acad. Cass. Leop. Carol, 

 at Linnaeus' time, and who published, among other works, some on 

 Materia Medica.
