the Flora Peruviana, that I can hardly persuade myself but 
that it must belong to the same genus, although the perianth 
is monophyllous, and the segments, except in decay, are not 
bent back. It comes much nearer to the plant of the same 
name figured in the Bot. Mag. t. 2496., where likewise the 
perianth appears to be of one piece ; but these segments are 
vastly longer, and appear to be unequal. 
Mr Loddige's plant, again, appears to be exactly the 
same as Feuillee's, (v. iii. t. 3. p. 8.) and that of Kuiz and 
Pavon, the blossoms of which are aptly compared in the Bo- 
tanic Cabinet to those ot a Solanwn.
