day 



lAnum already mentioned, another species

which is probably a var. of L. saUoloides, though the open flowers 

 are quite white, or with a faint tinge of yellow, while the buds are 



Idnums are usui 



decidedly yellow. As the yellow-flowered 



considered to form a division of the genus, this rather puzzled me. 



These were on a small rocky knoll at the foot of the larger hills, 



van 



with 



meadows on the way to this knoll were filled with a hand 



ariety of Campanula Saptmculus, Orohus 



Pedicularis comosa

 with afterwards 



fourth 

 meadows, at the foot of the hills, grow 



A little

 place, Alyssvm campestre, Biseutella saxatiUs, Erucastrum ohtus- 

 angnlum^ Selianthemum polifolium and canum^ Medicago siiffruti'

On the 13th of June 1 went on the railroad as far as Pozazjvl, 

 but an attack of illness prevented my researches and sent me 

 immediately back to Reinosa, and afterwards to Santander, so that 

 Orchis palleifs and Scorzonera Tivmilis were all I took back with 

 me. On the 23rd I again went to Pozazal, and availed myself for 

 a few days of the hospitality of Mr. Eoss at the station. A rough 

 hill gave me a Scorzonera, which I have not been able to deter- 

 mine. I saw afterwards a specimen of the same plant in the her- 

 barium of M. Darracq at Bayonne under the name of 8, humifusa^ 

 but that gentleman could not tell me where it was foimd or what 

 was the authority for the name. It does not occur in Steudel 

 nor in the * Prodromus,* and is very badly applied to a plant mth 

 an upright, single-flowered scape. The description in the last- 

 mentioned work of 8. crispa^ a plant of the Crimea, approaches 



plants 



aearly to it than any other I have met with ; but the neck 

 root is not at all fibriferous, and among a great number of 

 I saw no indication of a second flower. On this hill, which 

 is on the side of the road opposite to the station, I also gathered 

 Dianthw puHffens and Serratula humilis, Carduncellus mitissimus 

 is very abundant here and elsewhere. On the same side of the 

 railroad as the Nation ate some barren fields, cultivated, but
