WILSON’S OBSERVATIONS. 261 
5. Nuphar lutea. Anglesea, September 3, 1828. Leaves 
of much closer texture than in the last, so that the stellate 
pubescence of the cells is not evident. In this the radiating 
veins do not anastomose, but are parallel and repeatedly 
forked. The cavities of the leaf and flower-stalks have a 
lining of stellate bristles almost like Nymphea alba, accom- 
panied, in some cases, with an interrupted pithy substance. 
Rays of the stigma about 20, variable in number. Seed 
yellow, smooth and shining, without an arillus, Embryo as 
in Nymphea alba, 
6. Cistus marifolius. Gloddaeth, May 15, 1828.—June 
11, 1828. Petals wedge-shaped, crenate and abrupt at the 
extremity, in the hot sunny weather reflexed or very widely 
spreading, at other times almost closed; claw much bent. 
Style doubled, or bent in the middle, the lower part obliquely 
inserted on the germen. Germen downy all over, unless at 
the base; “ the 3 or 4 hairy lines” are probably the angles 
of the germen which are rather more hairy than the sides. 
Capsule ovate, acute, with 3 angles, hairy above, smooth 
below, the surface rather granulated. Seeds about 2 in each 
cell, stalked, inserted upon the lower part of the edge of the 
partition. The hairs on the upper surface of the leaves 
spreading, notappressed— there are usually two hairs together, 
or sometimes three or four connected at the base; pubes- 
cence of the lower side of the leaf stellate and appressed. 
The two small outer leaves of the calyx seem more like 
lateral appendages than distinct leaves. Flowers in a raceme, 
which is afterwards much elongated. 
7. Galeopsis Tetrahit, August, 1826. The bristles on 
the stem and calyx are jointed, those forming a fringe to 
the calyx teeth are glandular. The bristles on the tube of 
the calyx converge over the unripe seeds, but afterwards 
become erect and the tube of the calyx is then much widened. 
8. Galeopsis versicolor. September, 1826. Anthers two- 
celled, greenish grey, each cell two-valved. Valves UNES 
the anterior one densely fringed and more or less bispid in
