- As I take it for granted that C. curta is not the brizcides of Lin- 
næus, and as the names of fubfequent authors are not expreflive 
of its diftin&ion, I have reftored Loefél’s name, curta. Linnaeus ap- 
plies this figure of Loefel to his canefcens, but, I have always thought, 
without fufficient authority; and I am happy in being counte- 
nanced in this idea, by our worthy Prefident's remark in his edition 
of the Flora Lapponica. See n. 332. 
The true C. brizoides is very properly dei bed by Scbreber, in his 
Spicilegium FI. Lipf. p. 63. n. 675.
