OBSERVATIONS ON HOLL'S LIST. 37 
characters of Andryala rather than of Hothia. Where has 
R. picroides, Reichb., the other species indicated, been de- 
scribed ? 
* Schmidtia fruticosa, Moench, S. anethifolia, Reichb., S. 
quercifolia, Reichb." Where are these described? They 
are probably intended to designate some of the new species of 
Crepis or Borkhausia proposed by me in the Camb. Phil. Soc. 
Trs.; together, perhaps, with Crepis succulenta, Ait.; but 
more than this it is impossible to determine. However, Crepis 
succulenta, Ait., C. pectinata, nob., and C. macrorhiza, nob., 
being all three very comnon species not likely to escape Mr. 
HOll’s scrutiny, may be supposed at present with some pro- 
bability, to be intended by ** Schmidtia fruticosa, Moench, 
S. anethifolia, Reichb.," and S. quercifolia, Reichb.: though 
the three former are all found on the most sunny, not ** shady” 
rocks. 
* Campanula Erinus, L.,” is very common on walls and 
rocky banks about Funchal, and on rocks at a much greater 
elevation. Mr. Hóll's asterisk should have been placed before 
the preceding species, the very rare Muschkia aurea, DC, 
(Campanula aurea, L.), which I had the pleasure of first 
showing to him on its native rock. 
** Salvia Verbenaca, Linn." This is S. dubia, nob. (S. col- 
lina, nob. olim in Camb. Trs., non Humb. and Bonpl.) Hav- 
ing inadvertently used formerly a pre-occupied specific name 
for this plant, it becomes necessary to give it now a new one ; 
for I have not been able yet to ascertain that it is absolutely 
and essentially the same as S. polymorpha, Hoffm. (S. verbe- 
nacoides, Brot.) 
* Lavendula Stechas, Linn., var. Pseudo-stachas, Reichb.” 
This is undoubtedly L. viridis, Ait. 
* Sideritis candicans, Ait," is by no means uncommon on 
rocks in all the ravines, from 2000 to 4000 feet, as well as 
near the sea. 
** Origanum virens, Link," is rather O. creticum, L. 
* Mentha pulegioides, Reichb."—Where is a published 
description of this to be met with? I suspect it is intended
