Dr. Smith** Remarks onfome Foreign Species ofOrobanche. i6y 



The next fynonym in the Species Plantarum> that comes under 

 confideration, is that of Cafpar Bauhin : 



Orobanche majore flore. Bauhin, Pin. 88. 



This author quotes only the Orobanche quarta of Lobel's Icoties, 

 and an Orobanche of the Hortus Eyftetenfis, a work I have not in my 

 poffeflion. We muft conclude that he intended the Orobanche 

 ccerulea, efpecially as he has the Orchis abortiva in the preceding 

 pao-e, by the name of Orobanche Monfpeliaca fioribus oblongis, under 

 which he properly cites Lobel and Clufius. 



Morifon's figure, mentioned above, is alfo referred to by Linnaeus, 

 in the fame paragraph in which he quotes C. Bauhin. What this 

 author has faid, p. 502, likewife refers to the Orobanche carulea ; and 

 he rightly quotes another paragraph of Clufius, who, in his Hijloria, 

 p. 271, in a flight and fuperficial way mentions having feen the 

 fame plant growing in corn-fields at Montpellier, upon common 



thirties. Morifon has the Orchis abortiva in the fame plate with the 



above, fig. 4, and, in p. 502 of his letter-prefs, copies John Bauhin's 

 account of it as an Orobanche. He defcribes this very plant over 

 again,/. 503, n. 19, but without a figure. 



The only remaining fynonym in the Species Plantarum is that of 

 Sauva^es from his Methodus FoUorum, which is an arrangement of 

 the Montpellier plants, both wild and cultivated, according to their 

 leaves : 



Orobanche caule fimplici caeruleo bra&eis brevibus. 

 Sauv. Meth. 4. 



This author quotes John Bauhin only ; and as he has the Orchis 



tbortiva in the fame page, under the name of Limodorum, there can be 



a no
