NOTES. 
Tpomaza bona nox. 8. purpurascens. Supra fol. 290. 
When we published this plant as a variety of Ieoma@a bona nox, we had 
been informed, by the gentleman from whom we received the sample, that 
it was native of the West Indies; and being able to detect no distinction be- 
tween the two plants, in the state they were known to us, we did not judge — 
it safe to separate them specifically on.the score of difference of colour. We 
now learn that our plant is native of the East Indies, and has been long re- 
corded by the specific title of muricata. It was however deemed by Linnius 
so nearly connected. with bona nox (a West-Indian plant), that he thought it 
necessary to say expressly that it was not that species, though he gives us no 
mark to distinguish the two. Whether specifically distinct or not, the fol- 
lowing synonymy belongs to our plant, and had we been aware of it, we 
should have given the article as follows;

~ Mr. Herbert has observed, on a comparison of bona nox and muricata, 
both cultivated in his hothouse at Spofforth, that in the first the foliage 
is entirely smooth, in the second roughishly pubescent at the upper side; 
that in the first the stem becomes rather woody towards the bottom, but not 
so in the second, which rarely survives 5 or 6 months; that in the first the 
oints of the leaflets of the calyx are much longer and more spreading than 
in the latter; and that in the first the limb of the corolla is flatter and 
rounder than in the second,, where it is rather concave and angular.
