We refer our readers to the observations upon the other species made by Mr. Allan Cunningham in the place whence the foregoing passage has been extracted, for further information concerning these remarkable plants; adding only, that in the first place, the supposed attachment of the seedfl to the lower suture of the pod, as described by Mr. Don, is a mistake, their attachment being in Clianthus as in all other Leguminosae, namely, to the upper suture; and in the second, that as we are not aware of any reason why Dr. Solander's well-known name, Clianthus, should have been changed to that of Donia, we have not felt authorized to sanction the innovation.
