In the * Corollarium, pp. 6 and 7, ten more species of Symphytum are added, 
of which we need only consider two, none of the others being represented in 
the herbarium. One of the two is Symphytum Creticum, Echii folio angustiore, 
longissimis villis horrido, flore croceo, sheet no. 629, sine loco. It is certainly 
Onosma grecum Boiss., as Bonnier has noted on the sheet. The other, Sym- 
phytum Orientale, Olew folio cinereo et hirsuto, is represented by specimen 
no. 632, although the ticket, in Tournefort’s own hand, substitutes the word 
ponticum for Orientale, a variation that need not trouble us. The locality is 
* Proche Penderachi sur la mer noire." In the * Voyage du Levant,’ p. 183 
(ed. 1717), the author tells how on May Ist, 1701, he reached Penderachi, 
better known as Bender-Eregli, and in ancient times as Heraclea Pontica : 
the port where Xenophon embarked the survivors of his 10,000 on their 
return voyage to Greece. That this place is on the coast of ancient Bithynia 
rather than Pontus need not trouble us any more than the fluctuation of the. 
name between orientale and ponticum. The specimen is Onosma albo-roseum 
Fisch. et Mey. (1839), a beautiful Anatolian species. It must, however, 
henceforth bear the earlier name O. cinereum Schreb. (1767), which has 
hitherto been taken to indicate one of the forms included in or allied to 
O. echioides L.a, through confusion with the later and invalid nomen nudum 
O. cinereum Sieb., under which name Sieber distributed both O. erectum Sibth. 
et Sm. from Crete and the closely-allied O. angustifolium Lehm. from Apulia. 
Dr. H. Hoss, the Curator of the Munich Herbarium, has kindly inspected 
Schreber’s type-speeimen, which lies there. It had been collected by 
Tournefort in the east, and bears the label or writing ‘lecta a Tournefort in 
Ponto." This origin, combined with the “corolla purpurea” and other 
characters of Schreber's description, make it clear that it is identical with 
specimen no. 632 at Paris and with O. albo-roseum, as has already been 
suggested by Rübel and Braun-Blanquet in Vierteljahrsschr. Nat. Ges. Zürich 
for 1917, p. 608. 
LII. 
ONOSMA IN LINNÆUS. 
The second edition of ‘Species Plantarum’ enumerates three species of 
Onosmu, only one of which had been mentioned, under the name of Cerinthe 
echioides, in the first edition. The herbarium, however, contains two speci- 
mens, unnamed by Linnæus, of a fourth species, O. tinctorium M. Bieb., but 
none of O. orientale, the Syrian plant for which Boissier, Diagn. Ser. 1, xi. 
p. 113 (1849), created the genus Podonosma. Taking the species in order :— 
(1) O. rıncrorium M. Bieb. Although not mentioned in Linnæus’s works, 
this is represented in the herbarium by specimens no. 2 and no. 3, both 
unnamed by Linneus. They are sine loco, but are both marked 3-, signifying 
that they were received from Gmelin.
