Dr. Goodenough has fhown that the C. /omeniofa of Lightfoot 
and Hudfon is the f//formis of Linnzus. I have now the pleafure 
of giving the real tomentofa a place in the Flora Britannica, on the 
authority of wild fpecimens gathered in Wiltfhire laft fummer, by 
my friend Mr. Teefdale, F.L.S. 'Thofe in Mr. Dickfon's Dried 
Plants, n. 43, were all fent from Switzerland, It is moft akin to 
frecox and pilulifera, (both which have the fruit in fome degree 
pubefcent,) but is a much larger fpecies, and if the {pecific charac- 
ter be attended to, cannot be confounded with any other. The red 
vaginz of the radical leaver, asin C. iaiia are very ftriking at
