BRITISH PLANT LISTS AND THEIR DISCREPANCIES 101 



murmurs were few. If our mountain plant is a Loiseleuria, 

 and that name has to be retained, it follows that Azalea, L., 

 disappears. The " Index Kewensis " says Azalea, L. = 

 Rhododendron, L. The point appears to be, Does the 

 definition of the Linnean genus Azalea cover our Scottish 

 plant? If so, I should prefer to use it; but those who 

 follow the Vienna rules must surely accept the " nomina 

 <:onservanda," and these include Loiseleuria ; Kuntze wished 

 to call it Cliaincecistus, Oeder ; and the Vienna rules seem 

 specially designed, in this and other cases, to prevent his 

 name being accepted, since they specifically reject Oeder's 

 name, which, it is true, had no generic description in the 

 "Flora Danica " in 1761. S. F. Gray tried to revive it in 

 1821. It is a monotypic genus. Babington pleaded 

 strongly for the retention of Azalea procnmbens, L. 



1757 bis. Centaurium tenuiflorum (Hoffmg. and Link, 

 as a sp. of Erythi'cea}. I followed Mr. Townsend in putting 

 it to C. pulchelliun. In the last edition of the " Flora of 

 Hampshire," p. 255, he treats it as a distinct species, and on 

 a Euphrasia standard doubtless it is so. Curiously, Nyman 

 thought it was synonymous with Smith's latifolia. I think 

 the Rev. E. S. Marshall has made a slip in saying that 

 Nyman makes it a sub-species of E. linariifolia, Pers. = 

 E. litoralis, Fries. The only sub-species they have is 

 Grisebach's E. tenuifolia, not tenuiflora, Hoffmg. and Link. 



1763. Gentiana Amarella, L. In this [2] is misplaced 

 in my List. It should obviously follow the British census 

 number. 



1843. Cuscuta racemosa, Mart; an older name is C. 

 suaveolens, Seringe. 



1892. Scrophularia aquatica, L. The var. r., bracteata, 

 belongs to nodosa. It was accidentally transferred to the 

 wrong species in my List. The variety bears much 

 resemblance to S. alata, Gilib. 



1940 bis. Euphrasia. Recently Miss Saunders has 

 found E. minima, Jacq., on Exmoor in Somerset. C. H. 

 Ostenfeld refers E. paludosa, E. foulaensis, and E. scotica to 

 E. minima ; and makes the following observations, additions, 

 and corrections to the " List of the Phanerogams and 

 Pteridophyta of the Faeroes," p. 845 : " Wettstein considers
