NOTES ON "ENGLISH BOTANY, SUPPLEMENT' 1 255 



S. pannonicum, Jacq. He uses the name 6". Sinapistrum, 

 Crantz, " Stirp. Aust.," Ed. ii. I. 52 (1769), and says it is not 

 the 5". altissimum of the Linn. Herb. 



Erysimum perfoliatum, Crantz. If the " Gen. Plantarum " 

 be followed, this should be called Conringia, and should stand 

 as C. pcrfoliata, Link, " Enum. Hort. Berol.," ii. 172 (1822), 

 = C. orientalis, Andrz., in De Candolle's " Systema," ii. 138 

 (1827). 



Cardamine bidbifera, R. Br., is still cited ; but the name 

 will be found in Crantz's " Crucif," p. 127, of a much earlier 

 date. 



Cardamine pratensis, L. The variety should be Hay- 

 neana, Neilr., not Heyneana, as spelled here and in the last 

 edition of Bentham and Hooker's " Flora." Under C. 

 pratensis, it is stated that C. dentata, Schultes, is merely a 

 condition of the plant. No mention, however, is made of C. 

 palustris, Peterm., which is the common British plant, and 

 which is figured by Smith, and also in Syme's " English 

 Botany." x True C. pratensis of Linn. Herb., and of " Flora 

 Danica" is a much rarer plant, which as yet I have seen only 

 in Berkshire. 



Arabis petrcea, Lamk., var. hispida, DC., will I think be 

 found to be an error. Kerner has identified this plant with 

 A. hispida, Mygind, which is equivalent to A. Crantsiana, 

 Ehrh., and has longer pods than our British plant. So far I 

 have seen no British specimens of A. hispida, Mygind. Mr. 

 Brown, in " Additions and Corrections," p. iv., speaks of the 

 Ben Laoigh plant (var. grandifolia, Druce) as " merely a 

 state." Had he seen it growing I do not think he would 

 have come to that conclusion. It is so different in appear- 

 ance from the Cairngorm plant as to lead one to doubt their 

 specific identity. It keeps quite true in cultivation. Nor, 

 although I have searched the Cairngorms with some degree 

 of thoroughness, have I ever seen any specimens from that 

 range which are identical with the Ben Laoigh plant. I 

 hope later on to give further particulars about Lamarck's 

 Arabis petrcea. 



Draba verna, L., is still kept up as the name of the 

 Whitlow grass. Adanson's name Gansbium is not allude< 



1 See Kerner's " Schedse Fl. Exs. Aust.-Hung. (1884), 73.
