410 MR. F. N. WILLIA.MS OS THE GENUS DIANTHUS. 



Smith's description was drawn up from specimens in the Paris 

 Botanic Garden originally collected by Broussonet, " in mari timid 

 Gallia? meridionalis." The plant referred to this species by 

 Del Amo in his ' Flora fanerogamica de la Peninsula Iberica ' 

 (1873), vol. vi. p. 291, is the next species. It may possibly be 

 the plant described by Tournefort as " Caryophyllus maritimus, 

 supinus, foliis angustissimis aculeatis, multiflorus," or, as given 

 in a few French floras, the still older " Caryophyllus sylvestris 

 repens multiflorus " of C. Bauhin.
