Excerpt from Edwards's Botanical Register, or Ornamental Flower-Garden and Shrubbery, 1841, Vol. 27: Consisting of Coloured Figures of Plants and Shrubs, Cultivated in British Gardens With regard to S. Angustifolia, a third supposed species of the genus, it is reported by Labillardiere, its sole dis coverer, who called it Billardiera fusiformis, to be a native of Van Diemen's Island; it has not however been met with, as far as I know, by any botanist since his time; no trace of it occurs among Mr. Gunn's extensive collections. I have, however, lately received from Mr. Webb an authentic speci men of the plant, out of Labillardiere's herbarium, and I find it so very like S. Lzeter0pbylla that there seems nothing to dis tinguish it from that plant, except the presence of a few long. Hairs on the young twigs, and on the back of some of the leaves, of which there is a trace on the younger leaves of S. Lie teroylla itself. I therefore fear it is nothing more than a slight variety of that Species. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
