Willdenow's description applies equally to several different forms, and, notwithstanding, does not fit in any way the specimen sent me under the name of M, iwnorosa. It is a very remarkable plant, and certainly is worthy of a name. It is not described in any work which I possess, and does not occur in the numerous forms which have been sent me from France, Switzerland, and Savoy.
