of the fir ft order From the flrft fix it differs 
fo materially in appearance that there can be 
no doubt in rejecting them ; but to the fe*

difcovered, the number by which it is marked 
muft be obferved. Canna is diftinguillied by 
No. i ; by turning over the page that number 
will be found, and under it a more diffufe de^ 
fcription of the character of the genus. The
