* Brunsvigia was so named in 1753 by Heister, in compliment to his 
patron, Charles, Duke of Brunswick Lunenburg. What were his Serene High- 
ness’s claims to this honour, we know not; but we hope all Englishmen 
will always have reason to hail the name of Brunswick wherever it appears :

restored, the name of Brunsvigia appears with peculiar propriety in the 
Royal Garden of England. — Smith a Rees’ Cycl. Suppl.
