Dr. Scott. Mr. Gunn, (n. 63.) 
3. G. brevicaule, n. sp. ; pilosum, caule perbrevi procum-

trifidis incisis, pedunculis unifloris brevissimis albo-deflexo- 
pilosis, calycibus sericeo-hirsutis, fructus rostro crassiusculo 
5-angulato coccisque pubescenti-hirsutis. 
Mr. Gunn, (n. 256, and n. 324.) —I know of no species that 
agrees with this:—from the shortness of the stems the

radicalibus  (digitalibus) subaphyllis, umbellis 3— 7-floris, 
calycibus villosissimis, tubulo nectarifero subnullo. 
Mr. Lawrence, (n. 325.) —'This has at first sight so much 
the appearance of dwarf specimens of P. australe, that it i5 
not surprising Mr. Lawrence should have judged it to be 
Mr. Cunningham’s var. minus of that plant: but, indepen- 
dent of its small size, scarcely so high as one's finger, of the 
leaves being almost wholly radical, the scapes or peduncles 
rarely bearing even a single leaf, the nectary of the calyx is 
totally different, and so short and so obsolete as only te
