Arctotis aspera. Vol. 1. fol. 34. patel a : F 
Le style de plusieurs synantherées est irritable par le toucher: quelques 
arctotidées nous ont offert ce phénoméne, qui n’ayoit été obseryé, je crois, 
que sur des carduinées et des centaureés. Cassini in dict. sc. nat. 10. 142, 
(Paris, an. 1818.) ig gi 
The above notice of the irritability of the style of certain Arctotidee was 
published by M. Cassini, we believe, for the first time in 1818; at all events we 
can find no allusion by him to such phenomenon in any publication previous 
to the year 1816. The fact had been however fully stated by ourselves in 
regard to two species of ARCTOTIS in the article we haye quoted, in the 
year 1815. We think it right to say thus much, that we may not be sus- 
pected of borrowing information without due acknowledgment; not to accuse 
the ingenious writer of the above passage of having done so.

Camellia axillaris. Vol. 4. fol. 349, 
This plant was published by the name given by Dr. Roxburgh; but has 
subsequently ripened its fruit in the hothouse at Mr. Colvill’s Nursery, and is 
found by that, not only to be no congener of Camellia, but to belong even to 
a different natural order, viz. Malvacee, and to bea species of an as yet un- 
named genus akin to Gordonia, and of which several others, all belonging to 
the Indian islands, are known to Mr. Brown and Dr. Horsfield. The fruit 
js a woody oblong five-valved five-celled brown capsule about the size 
of a filbert with many upright seeds, membranously and cuneately winged at 
the top, in each cell. 
Hedychium elatum. — Vol. 7. 526. we
