of the Supplementum of the the younger Linneus, inserted 
among the synonyms of the present by Willdenow, is 
evidently a very distinct species, having only two, and 
those axillary, flowers at the end of each branch. This has 
been recorded by Gmelin (Syst. nat. 7. 33.) under the name 
of Gnipra acerosa, and in Dr. Martyn’s edition of Miller’s 
Dict. under that of Gnipra Sparmanni. Wendland’s pinifolia 
is the imberbis of the last edition of the Hortus Kewensis ; 
and his radiata is the present species. -
