* It is desirable that the new genus, lately introduced into British 
botany for the reception of this plant, should be designated by another 
name, as that of Ammophila is preoccupied. It was adopted by Mr 
liindley and Dr Hooker from Host's " Icones et Descriptiones Grami- 
num Austriacorum," published in 1809, but Mr Kirby had applied it to 
a genus of Hymenopterous insects, in a paper read to the Linnean So- 
ciety in 1797.
