ch we have given in the above citedarticle, and which has since been published in Curtiss Ma-gazine and in the Horticultural Transactions, by the specifictitle of ediilis. Some botanists however are of a differentopinion, and think the original plant was neither the presentspecies, nor that we speak of, but a different, though closelyallied, one. We have referred to our former article for the synonymy,leaving our readers to apply the various synonyms accordingto their own judgment. We have not discovered, on a comparison of the livingplants, any differences, beyond colour, of which we werenot aware when we published the variety /3 in the 152d ar-ticle of this work; except that the lower portion of the calyxin the Brazil plant is contracted into a shallow tube, with apartitioned nectary, while here the same part is nearly flatand the nectary not partitioned. The drawing was taken this summer from a plant whichflowered in the rich and well kept collection of Mr. Vera, atKensington Gore.
