1. Gordonia Lasianthus. Linn. — var. ? foliis integerrimis. 
Of this we find no trace among Schlechtendal’s papers. We have not seen the fruit, but in every respect, 
save that the leaves are here perfectly entire, it agrees well with the figure in the Botanical Magazine, t. 668.

De Candolle conjectures that there are perhaps several species confused under this name, and certainly the 
shape of the leaves in our specimens, which appear to be var. « of De Candolle, is very different from what is 
represented by Cavanilles, Ic. 6. t. 563. In ours they are oval and obtuse, and in Cavanilles, which forms 
De Candolle’s var. y, they are lanceolate and much attenuated at both ends. The petals of this genus be- 
come hard, dry, and persist, and have a strong middle nerve, which is canaliculate on the upper side and 
slightly carinate on the under.

The largest leaves in the specimen before us are upwards of two inehes long : those seen by Schleehtendal 
never exceeded one and three-quarters ; whieh is the only point of difference we can perceive between our 
plant and his description.
