Dunal’s description 1. c. perfectly agrees, except tliat even with 
the lens I can perceive only sometimes a faint line and certainly 
no “ sulcus ” in the stigma. Thus it is certainly his S. macrantha 
as distinguished from his S. grandijlora Sw. (1. c. 535) ; and 
though the two are reunited by Grisebach (W. I. FI. 433), it is 
noteworthy that the fl. in the Mad. pi. have not the slightest 
tinge of p. or peach-blossom, as they have in >$. grandijlora Sw., 
the “ Peacli-blossoni Trumpet-flower ” of the W. Indies. 
S. guttata Don in Bot. Reg. t. 1551 (Dun. in DC. xiii. 1. 536) was 
introduced into Mad. from Mr. Tate’s nursery gardens in 
England as an unknown pi. in or about 1832. It grew luxu- 
riantly, soon flowering, but not fruiting ; and still perhaps 
exists in the Achada garden where it was first planted.
