A Linnean species, involved in some obscurity by an 
inadvertence of Willdenow in identifying it with a plant to 
which Thunberg had affixed the same name, under the 
impression of its being the same thing, but which a critical 
review proves to be of a very different nature. We know 
by the sample that the present is the species intended in 
the Hortus Kewensis, notwithstanding its having been enu- 
merated in the last edition of that publication by the 
phrase descriptive of Thunberg’s plant.
