(8) is too near to (z) to be separated as a species without 
proof. The marks hastily selected by the compilers of uni- 
versal systems for the specific distinction of the plants, 
while arranging the sequences of their page, cannot be im- 
plicitly relied upon for decisive separation ; recourse should 
be had to other evidence. We have already expressed our 
views of the inconveniences arising from the iteration of 
species and misapplication of synonyms, holding them 
among the principal blots in the history of natural objects. 
Provisional subspecies, with separate synonymies and 
marks, seem at least the palliative of this evil, and the one 
we always use. ' 
@ has been lately introduced from the Brazils by Mr. 
Lee, of the Hammersmith Nursery, to whom the plant was 
sent by Mr. Chamberlayne, consul-general at Rio Ja- 
neiro.
