416 MR. C. C. LACAITA: A REVISION OF 
in Galieia by Pourret in 1802 and has since been found there by Merino in 
three places in the frontier province of Orense. 
The five modern specimens from Portugal I have been able to inspect 
are :— 
1. Herb. Hort. Bot. Conimbr. (in Herb. Kew), no. 470. Coimbra, 
1878. A very imperfect example. 
2. Herb. Murray (in Mus. Brit.), Caldas de Gerez, leg. R. P. Murray, 
16. vi. 1887. 
. Herb. Murray (in Mus. Brit.), Gerez, leg. R. P. Murray, vi. 1888. 
4. A specimen kindly sent me by Prof. Coutinho, labelled : ** Echium 
Broteri, Samp. In Transtagana montana, circa Marvao prope 
Beiram Majo, 1913.” This is accompanied by some separate 
fruiting spikes. 
5. A fruiting specimen given me by Prof. Henriquez of Coimbra. 
TI 
All the examples in flower have remarkably protruding stamens. It must 
therefore be admitted at once that the character “ corollis stamine longioribus " 
is a grave ditliculty, and it will be returned to below. 
To come to the synonyms :—- 
A. What is X. amplissimo folio Lusitanicum, Tourn.? There is no speci- 
men so labelled in Tournefort’s herbarium, but no. 587 without any original 
label is undoubtedly the plant to which he gave that name, and was ticketed 
by J. Gay in 1834 “ Verosimiliter X. ampliss. folio lusit. ; specimen minus 
evolutum = Ech. lusitanicum Linn. Poir. ete.” I have examined this specimen; 
it is precisely Æ. Broteri. Then in Herb. Mus. Paris there is a cover con- 
taining two pieces, one in flower, the other in fruit, ex herb. Vaillant, 
labelled by him ** E. ampliss. fol. eine and subsequently by Desfontaines 
* Ech. lusitanicum Linn. ex synon.” Both pieces are Æ. Broter’. Herb. 
Jussieu contains three specimens that are W. Broteri; two of them under 
no. 6605, of which one from herb, Isnard is labelled ** Æ. ampliss. folio lusit.; 
E. lusitanicum folio cubitali T. ; the other from herb. Charles “ Æ. ampliss. 
folio lusit.” ; the third under no. 6606 is labelled “ no. 48 Ech. undulatum 
Pourr. Gallice ” (sc. Galicia) “ envoyé par M. Pourret 1802.” 
Herb. Gay at Kew contains a similar specimen given him by A. de Jussieu. 
As Gay's note confirms the above determinations of the specimens at Paris it 
is here transcribed :—
