lately brought from Spain by the specific name of ruelloides, and it is so called amongst us: but a more preposterous blunder was hardly ever made in botany, as those who know the plant, and can read Linnæus's Supplementum, p. 279, will readily perceive. With respect to the two species of Hemimeris in question, they perfectly accord with the generic character given above, with which also the Linnæan fabulosa and diffusa, (which I have carefully macerated and dissected), and to all appearance the montana also, perfectly agree. In their general habit and structure they also manifestly form altogether one natural genus.
