  Magazine,

  pi.

   The 
  seeds 
  of 
  this 
  ornamental 
  myrtaceous 
  shrub 
  from 
  Australia 
  were 
  received 
  

   under 
  the 
  name 
  Callistemon 
  lanceolatum 
  DC. 
  1828 
  (Prodromus, 
  vol. 
  3, 
  p. 
  223) 
  

   which 
  was 
  based 
  on 
  Metrosideros 
  lanceolata 
  J. 
  E. 
  Smith 
  1797 
  (Transactions 
  of 
  

   the 
  Linnean 
  Society, 
  vol. 
  3, 
  p. 
  272). 
  Dr. 
  Smith 
  cited 
  " 
  M. 
  citrina. 
  Curt., 
  Mag. 
  

   t. 
  260," 
  and 
  remarked 
  in 
  part 
  as 
  follows: 
  "I 
  would 
  never 
  change 
  a 
  name 
  that 
  

   has 
  been 
  generally 
  in 
  use, 
  whether 
  published 
  or 
  not; 
  but 
  this 
  is 
  too 
  prepos- 
  

   terous 
  to 
  be 
  retained." 
  As 
  the 
  present 
  rules 
  of 
  botanical 
  nomenclature 
  require 
  

   the 
  retaining 
  of 
  the 
  first 
  specific 
  name 
  applied 
  to 
  a 
  species, 
  Curtis's 
  name 
  is 
  

   here 
  restored.

  citrina 
  is 
  found

   The
