garden (near Warrington). Petals always present in this 
species, (obcordate, or deeply notched in the common 
sort,) smaller, wedge-shaped, and truncated in the variety, 
permanent in both, and always visible, beneath the ripe cap- 
sule, as well as the filaments. Leaves (in the variety) all 
tipped with bristles, but nearly as smooth as in S. maritima : 
the capsule on a rather shorter stalk than in that. 
49. Moenchia erecta.—Cheshire, June 8, 1827.— Teeth of 
the capsule blunt, as in Cerastium. Stems generally inclined. 
50. Radiola millegrana.—1826.— Leaves very indistinctly, 
if at all, 3-ribbed, with scattered pellucid dots: the descrip- 
tion in Eng. Fl. otherwise very good. 
51. Myosotis palustris.—September, 1826.— Germen not in- 
serted into the base of the calyx, but attached to the base of 
the style, subsequently swelled. In the nearly ripe fruit, the 
base of the style is thickened, above the insertion of the 
germens, and enlarged below, being then somewhat com- 
panulate, and four-sided. I hardly think Schrader correct in 
terming it a receptacle, since the style is thickened as well 
above as below the seeds, and hence appears to be one con- 
tinuous body. This observation applies to the Generic Char. 
Corolla in M. palustris, with five prominences, hollow be- 
neath, at the interstices of the limb, the segments of which 
are not ribbed. 
52. Myosotis sylvatica.—May 8, 1827.— The part to which 
the seeds are attached is flat, not prominent, and Ris 
better with the Generic Char. in Eng. Fl. DD 
53. Myosotis alpestris.—Ben Lawers, July, 1827. Stem 
angular, the limb of the corolla not much longer than the 
tube. 
54. Myosotis arvensis.—September, 1826. is bojati of 
the calyx much longer than the tube, and they are clothed 
in the lower part, like the tube, with hooked bristles. Tube 
of the corolla much widened at the base, and closed, at the 
base, with ten teeth, just above the germen. Seeds polished 
and keeled, dark-olive-coloured; the axillary flowers often 
wanting. | Anthers | triangular? with a blunt horn at the
