The botanist's repository, for new, and rare plants : containing coloured figures of such plants, as have not hitherto appeared in any similar publication, with all their essential characters, botanically arranged, after the sexual system of the celebrated Linnaeus : in English and Latin : to each description is added a short history of the plant, as to its time of flowering, culture, native place of growth, when introduced, and by whom . in. Sp. Plant. 199; the fecond, No. 19, from 3. 22. Thunberg has likewife, in his Prodromus, 33. two names of plants, as E. laevigatum,and E. glabrum; from whom Willdenow, in his new Edition of Sp. Plant, p. 785, has copied themunder the same titles; adding, the various fynonims, from Linnauss Sp. Plant, to the one; and tothe latter, Prof. Jacqcins lpecific of glaucophyllum, taken from his Ic. rar. 2. t. 312, and his p. 325. Now, we have little hesitation in declaring our opinion, and we think, thofe who choofeto compare our figure with the different defcriptions here mentioned, will coincide with us, that thisis the plant from which they mult all have originated, except the E. glabrum of Vahl, which we taketo be a different plant; as, the cup is defcribed hair), the length of the tube of the bloffom; the chiveslonger, and the flower fmaller. Wherefore, we have taken, for our plant, the fpecihe title of Jacquin,as being, in our idea, the moft appropriate. ^. 01». mm PLATE CLXVL GLADIOLUS ABREVIATUS. Shoitened-petalled Gladiolus.
