_ Owing to a mistake in the remarks on Dr. Roxburgh’s descriptions of 
Scitamineous plants by Mr. Roscoe, in the 10th volume of the Linnean 
Transactions, we not only did not recognize CANNA gigantea of Redouté in 
CANNA latifolia of that celebrated writer, but were led to suspect his CAN- 
NA patens to be CANNA gigantea. Mr. Roscoe, in'a subsequent letter to 
us, has set this matter right, and sent an amended character of latifolia for 
our use: so that the front of the above article should be now altered as fol- 
lows; the name of /atifolia, having seniority of that of gigantea, must be 
preferred, and the doubtful synonym of patens omitted.

We have no doubt that the prototype sample of the CANNA indica of the 
Flora Peruviana has been too hastily referred to the species of the above 
article; and that if Mr, Lindley, whose acuteness is seldom at fault, had had 
an opportunity of comparing the CANNA edulis of the present volume with 
that sample, he would not have hesitated in referring it to the latter species, 
to which we have ourselves applied it. (See No. 775.) ae 
We understand from Mr. Roscoe, who, according to his usual courtesy, 
has favoured us with the distinctive character intended for CANNA Lamberti, 
in his approaching work on the Monandrous Class, that the plant is known 
in some Nurseries by the title of maxima, a name that applies neither to the 
whole nor to a part. magical

We cannot agree with the ingenious botanist by whom the above article 
was contributed to our work, in considering the subject of it in the light of a 
plant that bears about itself that which precaution has taught us to consider 
_ as sufficient evidence of distinctness as a species ; and we are led to reserve 
it for further proof and future decision, under the following front arrange- 
ment:
