FRAGRANS. Correction to Bulletin 278, page 271. The above variety is wrongly described as " Andre Lauries " in the aforementioned publication. For a correct description of "Andre Lauries " see page 152. These two varieties have been somewhat confused, and " Fragrans " is more often sold as " Andre Lauries " than otherwise. " Fragrans " was introduced from China by Sir Joseph Banks in 1805, while " Andre Lauries " was originated by Crousse in 1881.

ADDITIONAL NOTES AND CORRECTIONS TO DESCRIPTIONS IN BULLETIN 278
Andre Lauries, page 271. This variety should be known as " Fragrans," as it was introduced from China, in 1805, by Sir Joseph Banks under the latter name. The following synonyms should be added:  " American Beauty," " Edulis," " Edulis Fragrans," " Chinensis Rubra," " Fragrantissima," " Mons. Charles Leveque " (here a variety under the name Mons. Charles is meant, since the variety Charles Leveque, introduced from Holland, is a synonym of Mlle. Leonie Calot.— B. H. Farr), and " Rosea Plenissima."
