1. Gordonia Lasianthus. Xt«».—var. ? foliis integerrimis.
Of this we find no trace among Schlechtendal’s papers. We have not seen the fruit, bnt in every respect,
save that the leaves are here perfectly entire, it agrees well with the %ure in the Botanical Magazine, t. 668.

De Candolle conjectures that there are perhaps several species confused under this name, and certainly the
shape of the leaves in our specimens, which appear to be var. a of De Candolie, is very different from what is
represented by Cavanilles, Ic. 6. t. 563. In ours they are oval and obtuse, and in Cavanilles, which forms
De Candolle’s var. y, they are lanceolate and much attenuated at both ends. The petals of this genus become
hard, dry, and persist, and have a strong middle nerve, which is canaliculate on the upper side and
slightly cannate on the under.

The largest leaves in the specimen before us are upwards of two inches long : those seen by Schlechtendal
never exceeded one and three-quarters ; which is the only point of difference wc can perceive between our
plant and his description. . Y / / r / y x r / / '■/■A/
