    Its proper class in the Linnaean system was not suspected until the summer of 1804, when Lady Hume had several plants clossom in her choice collection at Wormerlybury, Herts, from seeds communicated from the Right Honourable Sir Joseph Banks. ... We have named it after the accomplished Lady to whom we are obliged for its introduction, and who, for her botanical taste and knowlege, as well as the number of new plants she has introduced into England, and which she is always in the most liberal manner disposed to communicate, well deserves such as compliment.
