Journ. V. 10. p. 117. — Hab. Valparaiso. — Mi\ Don considers tlie smaller leaf to be a persistent stipule, while 
the other stipule is very deciduous and minute. The same Botanist gives the following character for A. 
serrata; foliis oblongis serratis Isevibus, corymbis pedunculatis multifloris.

Don’s paper for full characters of this genus and its species: he places it in Homalinece, where it seems to 
ranlc naturally next to Pineda. The above three species are all named Corcolen in Chili: but there is a 
fourth with reticulated leaves and a panicled inflorescence, called Lilen, the A.? Lilen, Bert. (^Lilenia, nov. 
gen. Bert. MS.'), found also at Valparaiso, w’hich we have received from Mr. Bridges, and which appeal's to 
be the same with A.? celastrina, Don.

Page 19. — Adesmia. — Our Adesmia microphylla we have I'eceived from Mr. Mathev’s as the A. arborea 
of Bertero’s MSS. But this plant of Bertero M. Guillemin is disposed to refer to Zuccagnia punctata of 
Cavanilles. — Our A. angustifolia is sent to us by Mi'. Mathews, under the name of A. vesicaria, Bertero. — 
What we have spoken of as the A. longiseta, (p. 18.) De Cand., Mr. Mathews has given as A. Jiiuricata.

the gardens there, in Avhich, Mr. Bridges informs us, it is cultivated under the name of Tara . — To us it 
appears that this plant is exclusively a native of Peru, and we can scarcely doubt that the two species 
described by Humboldt are mere varieties, differing only in the more or less abundant aculei on the leaf- 
staUcs.* Both ai'e used in dyeing, and from then' beauty, are amply deserving of cultivation. Feuillee was 
in the habit of maldng a beautiful and very black ink from this plant, by infusing the pods with a little alum 
in water for a night, and afterwards boiling them. 
Page 22. — Cassia frondosa. The Coquimbo specimens in the Collection, and others that we have received 
from the same spot, gathered by Mr. Bridges, have the leaves more or less hairy on the nerves, and remark- 
ably ciliated at the margin, and of a less firm texture than those from Valparaiso, which w'e have from other 
travellers, and which appears to us to be the true frondosa.

* In the specimens of the Collection, the leaflets are all aculeated at the base ; in those we possess from Mr. 
Bridges, the aculei are confined to the base of the primary petioles.
