limb about an inch long ; cup about half an inch

the cup. Ovules usually in three rows, full, but 
irregular.

N. odorus Linn. herb. 
Linnaeus’s specimen of N. odorus is from the Upsal gar- 
den, a two-flowered specimen of a plant of this species, with 
a six-lobed cup, the tube and limb together measuring barely 
one inch and |-, the limb exceeding the cup This is ^ 
shorter than calathina of the Bot. Mag. and comes nearer to 
v. laeta ; but as I have adopted Linnaeus’s name odora for 
the whole species, it is needless to discuss the difficult point, 
which variety lies dried in his herbarium. He never had a 
specimen of N. calathina, but named it, in MS. on the mar- 
gin of the first edition, and published it in the second with a 
reference to Clusius, No. 1. juncif. 9. and Rudb. El. 2. p 60. 
f. 5. Rudbeck’s figure is a very unfaithful copy of that of 
Clusius with a reference to it ; therefore the original plant 
of Clusius is the thing meant, and that corresponds very 
closely with N. calathinus Bot. Mag. Rudbeck exaggerated 
the size of the cup in his engraving, on the faith of which 
Linnaeus described it as having the cup and limb nearly 
equal, but no such specimen has ever been forthcoming: 
and, as Linnaeus had no specimen, but meant to describe the 
plant of Clusius, we must look to Clusius alone, rejecting 
the garbled figure of Rudbeck. Our calathinus seems a 
little more indented than the flower of Clusius, but there is 
no other difference. M. Decandolle, in Red. lil., in conse- 
quence of Linnaeus’s statement that the cup and limb were 
equal, applied the name to a plant with a reflex limb; but 
the reference to Clusius’s figure, and even Rudbeck’s, as 
well as Linnaeus’s reference to Tazetta, shews that it was not 
a reflex flower. His odorus was probably a variety a little
