260 WILSON’S OBSERVATIONS. 
Nores to the THIRD VOLUME of the ENGLISH FLORA. 
l. Papaver hybridum. Llandudno, N. Wales, June ll, | 
1828. The calyx copiously beset with coarse tawny ascend- 
ing bristles, very different from P. Argemone, Anthers greyish- 
blue, oblong, bent or recurved. The petals are often bristly 
at the back. 
2. Papaver Argemone. Llandudno, June 11, 1828. Calyx 
covered with a few scattered, white, erect bristles, similar to 
those of P. dubium. Capsule not so strongly furrowed as 
in P. hybridum. Anthers blue, rounded and compressed, not 
bent. Filaments like those of P. hybridum, clavate and com- 
pressed. 
3. Papaver Rheas. Anglesea, August 3, 1826, (rare). 
The segments of the leaves bristle-tipped, as in P. Aybridum. 
Stigma 6 or 'i-rayed, flat, as broad as the germen. Pubes- 
cence white. 
4. Nymphea alba. Anglesea, September 3, 1828, The 
rays of the stigma vary from 14 to 21; they are not pointed; 
but incurved at their extremity. The internal cavities of the 
flower and leaf-stalks, and even those of the leaves themselves, 
are lined with stellate bristles of 4 appressed rays, with an 
erect central one. Seeds attached to the sides of the cell, 
covered with a doubled arillus. In an early stage the arillus 
is only a turbinate funiculus below the rudiment of the seed, 
but its edges become gradually expanded until they wholly 
envelop the seed, the inner fold closely investing it, and the 
outer one very lax. Thus the arillus is really open at the 
extremity. Embryo turbinate with two rounded thick 
cotyledons, their inner surfaces concave. Radicle closely 
applied to the side of the plumula, both enclosed by the coty- 
ledons and pointing the same way. The embryo is placed 
at that end of the seed where the hilum is found, and, as 
stated by De Candolle, it is enclosed *within a peculiar 
integument.” Seed smooth and beautifully marked with 
black dots. In this the leaves have anastomosing veins
