In explanation of the name applied to this plant, we make the following extract from Mr. Brown's communica- tion upon the subject :

" I have named the genus in honour of my friend, Captain Dugald Carmichael, E.L.S., a very accurate bota- nist, whose interesting account of the Island of Tristan d'Acunha is published in the 12th volume of the ' Linnean Society's Transactions/ and to whom I am indebted for ex- tensive collections, and many excellent descriptions of the plants of the Island of Mauritius and of the Cape of Good Hope."

Bot. Beg. 912 (1825).

Chorizema Henchnanni, foliis acicularibus pungentibus solitariis v. ternatim fasciculatis, calycibus villosis.

C. Henchmanni, B. Brown, ined.

This plant, which recedes very much in habit from the species of Chorizema, previously published, has been named by Mr. Brown in honour of Francis Henchman, Esq., a very successful importer of New Holland plants, for whom the present subject was collected by Mr. William Baxter.
