[Plant Specimen.— Anxious, Wahring.1— Your specimen is a Solanum, or belongs to a closely allied genus, but is very different from the Deadly Nightshade. "Anxious" should have forwarded a more complete specimen. Professor Dunal, so far back as 1852,2 distinguished about 900 distinct species, and many have been added since. In Australia, Baron von Mueller informs us, 53 well marked species are known; hence the difficulty to name one from insufficient material.]
