several British Species of Ilieracium. 239 



Brit., though his synonyms are extremely confused,) I am led 

 to consider Withering's plant as Ray's, not Bauhin's, II. murorum 

 folio pilosissimo, and to retain for it the name of sylvaticum; only 

 remarking that it is not the Linnaean variety of the true ynurorum 

 marked sylvaticum in the margin of Sp. PI. 1 decline choosing 

 a new name for it, because this has been adopted amongst us, 

 and because it is difficult to find a more expressive one, not pre- 

 occupied in some one or other of the authors who have lent their 

 hands to elucidate or to embroil the species of Ilieracium. But 

 while I consider this as the sylvaticum of Withering, I must re- 

 mark that it is also confounded in the otherwise excellent de- 

 scription of H. murorum given in his work from Mr. Woodward, 

 though it seems Dr. Withering himself had correct ideas of the 

 murorum. 



My own account of H. sylvaticum Fl. Brit, being professedly 

 taken from this writer, for I never till now could ascertain any 

 thing certain about it, I subjoin the following more correct cha- 

 racter and synonyms of what is now to go by this name, and 

 which is a very frequent species in England.
