      LECTORI BOTANICO S.

      Deduxit me in Angliam et hortorum celebritas, et inprimis absolutissimum illud Linnaei herbarium vivum, quod in immortalem summi Viri famam, perpetuamque artis botanicae disciplinam consitum est.

      Indefesso quindecim mensium labore, plantas delineandas curavi in suo genere pretiosissimas, non sine magnâ hortorum admiratione, qui et affluenti plantarum copiâ et industriâ colendi, famâ gaudent non immeritâ.

      In praesenti fasciculo colliguntur plantae selectae et rariores; uberrimam profecto segetem, quae peregrationis curas tanto cum foenore compensavit! Alias in alia opera remitto, in quibus unaquaeque propriis lineamentis, cum plantis congeneribus adumbrabitur.

      Genti autem Anglicae hoc plantarum suarum Sertilegium speciatim offero et dedico. In illos enim laus debet redundare e quibus profecta est. Suadet etiam gratissima animi recordatio quae semper infra beneficium erit. Juvat enim praedicare, et meminisse amo, quam omnes me comiter exceperint; quam viri doctissimi in explicandâ divitiarum ubertate, se praebuerint faciles et commodos, quam studiosi praesertim homines artis botanicae officiosam mihi operam navaverint.

      Accipiant igitur Angli Botanici, iique soli, nova quae in hoc opusculo descripsi genera, non ingratum, ut spero, nec ignotum munusculum. Velint meo labori arridere; mihique liceat, ut hoc opus illorum nomine insignitum et vere splendidum, testetur gratum animum aeternumque memorem. Dabam Parisiis 20â Aprilis 1788.

      WITHERINGIA.

      Calyx quadridentatus. Corolla campanulata. Nectarium quadrilobum, corollae adnatum, polymorphum. Stamina corollae inserta. Antherae lateribus dehiscentes. Germen superum. Bacca polysperma.

      CHLORANTHUS.

      Perianthium duplex. Exterius: mera Bractea. Proprium: Squamula semisupera, lateri germinis adnata. Corolla semisupera, lateralis, dimidiata, trifida, lateri germinis insidens. Filamenta nulla. Antherae corollae adnatae. Germen semiinferum, petaligerum. Stylus nullus. Stigma capitatum. Bacca 1-sperma.

      PENTANDRIA.

      PRISMATOCARPUS.

      Prismatocarpi genus habitu specierum quamvis placeat, tamen genuinis characteribus Campanulae nimium proximis, forsitan retinendum non erit. Hanc meam sententiam, dum icon P. nitidi in lucem prodiet, confirmare novis observatis aut infirmare animus est.

      Eximii quidam Botanici Prismatocarpum a Campanulâ genere distinguendum esse jam existimavere. Haller (hist. 1. 311.) de Campanulâ Speculo agens,
