NOTES, 
Teomaza tuberculata. Vol. 1. fol. 86. ‘ 
__ This species was published at Vienna in the Ecloge Plantarum of 
Baron F. J. Jacquin nearly about: the same time when it appeared in the 
above cited article of this work. The fasciculus, however, in which it is 
contained has only lately reached us; and as we cannot ascertain precisely 
which name should be retained in right of priority, we merely offer the fol-. 
lowing quotation as a synonym; 
Tromaa dasycarpa. Jacq. ecl. 1. 132. t. 89. 
The species is spoken of by the Baron, who received the seed from 
England, as a native of China. Dr. Roxburgh, by whom it was introduced, 
speaks of it generally as native of India. 
Barveria mitis. Vol. 3. fol. 191. 
This plant has been also published by Baron Fran’ Jos. Jacquin, in a 
fasciculus of his Eclogze which had not reached us when we gave the article. 
By the date of the Volume (now complete) in which this fasciculus is in. 
cluded, it is evident that the name there conferred has the priority of the one 
offered by us by at least some months. We were not aware of the synonymy 
which we find attributed to it; and which we now subjoin ; 
BARLERIA flava.

Dianthera americana. «. flava. Forsk. descr. 9. 
The flowers in strong plants, form an imbricated decussated upright 
spike, 3 or 4 inches in length. The leaves are sometimes a foot long, and 
4 inches broad. The stamens vary from 2 to 4 and even 5. Jacquin de- 
scribes the style as twice the length of the corolla. The species is native of 
Egypt; and was introduced into the gardens at Paris some years ago. Our 
figure was taken from a newly imported plant; the inflorescence of which 
seems to have been a very feeble and imperfect sample. No one could ever, 
we suspect, have divined the plant through the description by Vahl. The 
synonymy has been most: probably made out by access to some Herbarium 
which we have not here; or else the prior knowledge of the habitat had 
suggested a search in Forskil’s work on the Egyptian plants. . 
Troma@a obscura. Vol. 3. fol. 239. 
The subject.of this article, which had been generally deemed an annual 
plant, proves to be perennial, and evergreen. 
Ints dichotoma. Vol. 3. fol. 246. “ges 
We have attributed the appellation of “ Scissor-Plant,’’ which this 
species has acquired in Siberia, to the dichotomy of the stem; but believe 
that it should be attributed to the shape and appearance of the foliage. This 
however is an etymology that any one may decide for himself.
