Annotation: Sometimes cited as a combination, Milla uniflora (Lindl.) Graham, based on Triteleia uniflora Lindl., but but described independently by Graham from a specimen gathered at a differenttime but from the same population as the type specimen of Lindley's name. See W.J. Hooker, Bot. Mag. 61: t.3327 (1834) The credit of discovering this very pretty plant is due to Dr. Gillies, from whom we possess specimens, gathered in 1820, "on banks near Buenos Ayres," and marked " Milla, Nov. Sp." In June, 1832, Mr. Neill received roots from the same place, gathered by Mr. Tweedie, which flowered in the greenhouse at Canon Mills, in December of the same year, and again in March, 1834, when specimen and a drawing by Mr. M'Nab, were communicated by Dr. Graham, who is assuredly correct in keeping it distinct from the Mexican Milla bifiora, the only other species known to exist.
