number. I am disposed to consider it a Potentilla. Seeds 
slightly stalked, receptacle a little hairy. No separate albu- 
men: inner skin of the seed purple, outer hard and bony. - 
24. Drosera longifolia.— Anglesea, July 19, 1828.— Fila- 
ments dilated at the top, hence the cells of the oblong anther 
are separated and placed at the back of the filament. Pollen 
in congregated masses of 8 or 10 globules. Stigmas deeply 
cloven. Styles 8, incurved. Seeds rough, not winged or chaffy. 
A monstrous flower was observed with one germen enclosed 
in another, and a third within the second; the external one 
open at the top and fringed with styles and abortive anthers. 
Rudiments of seeds lined the inner surface as usual. The 
inner germen had styles and anthers intermixed, and was 
closed at the top: the innermost more imperfectly formed, 
but with rudiments of styles. There were eight petals and 
about six perfect stamens in the flower. 
Dried specimens, gathered in Cheshire, abounded with 
colouring matter, and stained the paper in which they were 
placed, after having been dried, of a deep rusty red colour, 
which also penetrated several contiguous sheets. Drosera 
rotundifolia, in the same sheet, was found to possess a similar 
property, in a much slighter degree.— November, 1828. 
25. Drosera rotundifolia.—18922.— The seeds are chafly, or 
tunicated, smaller than in D. anglica. 
26. Drosera anglica.— W oolston Moss, near Warrington, 
September, 1822. Seeds chaffy, very different from those of 
D. longifolia. Tunic membranous, smooth, Zaz, (in D. longifolia 
it tightly encloses the seed, and is rough or papillose.) Embryo 
at the lower end of the seed, dicotyledonous. 
27. Scilla verna.—Anglesea, May 7, 1828.—Petals some- 
what slightly keeled on the inner side, with a slightly prominent 
line below, the keel of a deeper blue than the other parts— 
Filaments evidently flattened, dilated below, subulate. bum 
petals frequently oblong or lanceolate. Flowers sweet-scented. 
—Does it really differ from Ornithogalum ? 
A 28. Anthericum serotinum.—June 27, 1828.— Wales.— 
Flower-stalk invested with its own sheath, and separated by
