_ The present species, and the quadrangularis already given 
in the fourteenth article of this work, are, we suspect, ex- 
emplifications of nearly the extremes of size in the flower 
of this genus. Probably likewise of the fruit, which in the 
one is of the size of a pea; in the other larger than a swan’s 
eee.
