'M. Decandolle long ago pointed out the error committed 
by English Botanists in referring to this species the now 
common yellow-flowered Mimulus of North America, which 
he distinguished by the name of M. guttatus ; but he at the 
same time attributed too much importance to the absence 
of hairs from the palate of Feuillée’s plant, which arose 
only from inaccuracy on the part of his draughtsman. 
The Mimulus luteus of Linneus was established solely 
upon the figure given by Feuillée of his Gratiola foliis sub- 
rotundis nervosis, floribus luteis, which was seen by Feuillée
