If the reference to the Flora Greca be correct, this 
should be a native of Mount Olympus; but M. Seringe 
remarks, that his specimens were communicated by Pro- 
fessor Balbis under the name of G. chiloense. It would be 
very extraordinary if a plant known to be a native of 
Greece should be found also on the coast of Chile; we, 
however, possess specimens collected in the neighbourhood 
of Conception, by Mr. James M‘Rae, which are certainly 
so like this species that we are not able to distinguish 
them. We are therefore led to suspect that the supposed 
identity of this plant and the G. coccineum of Sir James 
Smith requires investigation. We recommend this subject 
to the consideration of those who are in possession of 
Olympian specimens.
