BOTANY OF THE AZORES. 585 
obtaining the corrections of P. B. Webb, Esq., which were 
greatly wished for. 
In the following list, the first Nos. will correspond with 
those on the labels distributed with my own specimens. "The 
second Nos. inclosed ( ) will refer to the Flora Azorica. 
Following the names of the plants, I give those of the islands 
on which they were collected by myself. In the case of 
species not found by myself, the names of the islands 
(with very few exceptions) are omitted, but may frequently 
be ascertained from the pages of the Flora Azorica. Where 
it appeared necessary or desirable, I have added some notes 
on the characters of the species, &c. For the convenience 
of foreigners, these notes are mostly in Latin; but having 
scarce ever written that language since leaving school, twenty 
years ago, it will be found “as dad as can be expected.” 
It may be proper hereto remark, that some few of the 
names in the Notes formerly printed, will now require to be 
changed; and hence it may be well for any botanist, who 
feels interested in the plants cf the Azores, to observe 
whether the same specific appellation is still retained in the 
following list. Holcus mollis, of my Notes, for example, is 
properly described as a new species in the Flora Azorica, 
under the name of Holcus rigidus; and the former name 
must consequently be erased, as applying to a Species which 
has not been found in the Azores.

1 (305). Ranunculus cortusefolius, Willd. Fayal. 
By Seubert this plant is named R. cortusefolius, 
var. sylvestris (Webb and Berth.), and R. grandi- 
folius (Lowe) is quoted as a synonym. My single 
specimen of Lowe's plant, collected in Madeira 
by Dr. C. Lemann, differs considerably from all 
those of Fayal. j
