948 MR. R. A. ROLFE ON THE SELAGINEJE 
Species originally published in Linneus’s ‘Mantissa Plantarum,’ 
part 2, p. 143 to end (1771). 
P. 171. Eranthemum parvifolium, L. Not seen. It is merely 
a repetition of E. parviflorum, Berg., with a change of name, and 
still doubtful (vide supra, p. 345). 
E. angustatum, L.! One specimen. Itis only Selago dubia, L.! 
with the name changed, and AGATHELPIS ANGUSTIFOLIA, Choisy! 
P. 250. SELAGO POLYSTACHYA, L.! Three specimens on three 
sheets. Meyer incorrectly calls it S. cinerea, Thunb., quoting 
S. polystachya, L., as a variety of S. corymbosa, L., which variety 
only differs in having a little shorter leaves. Choisy follows 
Meyer in both these mistakes. The S. cinerea, L. fil. !, Thunb. !, 
is made a new species by Meyer as S. cinerascens! ; but the latter 
name is misunderstood by Choisy, who used it with a ? for the 
same plant, which a little later he called ** S. canescens, L. ?, 
Thunb. ?, E. Mey." and still later made a new species as S. 
ALBIDA, Choisy. Thus nos. 8,14, and 58 in De Candolle's * Pro- 
dromus’ are the same species. 
S. fasciculata, L.! Two specimens on two sheets. It is evi- 
dently S. SERRATA, Berg.; and though I find no trace of the 
type specimen of Bergius, his ample description is sufficient to 
identify it. Choisy quotes the latter as a synonym of the former ; 
but as the name given by Bergius is four years prior to that of 
Linnzus, it must take precedence. Correctly understood by 
authors, except that Meyer's var. hirtais distinct, and is S. QUAD- 
RANGULARIS, Choisy! (in DC. Prodr. xii. p. 15). The Linnean 
Herbarium also contains the following additional species :— 
SELAGO CILIATA, L. fil. ! Suppl. Pl. p. 285. One specimen, cor- 
rectly named. 
S. VERBENACEA, L. fil.! Suppl. Pl. p. 285. One specimen, cor- 
rectly named. tes 
Hebenstreitia spicata, Thunb.! Prodr. Pl. Cap. p.103. One spe- 
cimen, incorrectly named “H. ciliata," presumably of Bergius, 
but quite different. A second sheet of one specimen labelled as 
the last, “H. ciliata," is again different, and is H. capitata, 
Thunb.! 
H. capitata, Thunb. ! Prodr. Pl. Cap. p. 103. Besides the spe- 
cimen mentioned in the preceding note, there are three additional 
ones correctly named, and containing several specimens, on one
