711 a and b, alter authority to " Syme." 



715, alter authority to " Poll." 



720, alter authority to " Huds." 



729 should have the small " s." 



740 and 741, alter authority to " Grertn." 



760 should be D. candidissima, Desf. 



772 b a variety found in Warwickshire, etc., with 

 narrower-cut leaves and whole plant more gracile. 



777 should be P. officinalis, Mcench. 



781 b a var. found in the Channel Isles, Cork, 

 Ireland, etc., with radiant ray-florets. 



786 /', a similar variation to the last. 



787/', var. with deeper-cut leaves, lobe at end 

 larger, etc. 



792 should be spelt S. spathulcefolius, DC. 



794/', var. with cottony-webbed heads. 



798 would be better named C. tenuiflorus, Curt, 

 the old name. 



Carduus and Cnicus. Personally, I think the 

 use of these two genera unwarranted, the distinc- 

 tion between simple and feathery hairs of the pappus 

 is too artificial. 



800 b, authority should be " Gren." 



Soi, alter authority to " Willd." 



802, alter authority to " Roth." 



803, alter authority to " Willd." 

 S04, alter authority to "Roth." 

 808, alter authority to " Willd." 



809 b is a var. with stiff spiny leaves, growing 

 especially abundant towards the base of Ben Lawers, 

 etc. 



$>ioe was described by Mr. Jenner in the " Trans- 

 actions of the Edinburgh Botanical Society." 



827 is 754, 7th ed. 



834 is 772, 7th ed. 



836 ^ is 774 /', 7th ed. 



851. Mr. Backhouse now divides II. Aiiglicuiu 

 into four forms, instead of three, as in 7th ed. 



858 is an added species from the Grey-marestail, 

 Dumfries-shire, found some years ago by Mr. Back- 

 house. It also occurs in Caithness, and perhaps in 

 Perth ? 



859 b and c are two vars. from W. Sutherland, de- 

 termined by Dr. Almquist. 



S60. Whether we have typical II. cesium, of Fries, ■ 

 in Britain is yet perhaps uncertain. //. Smithii is the 

 plant ordinarily named as ccesium by British authors. 

 C is a var. (and a striking one) gathered on the Great 

 Orme's Head, Carnarvonshire ; it has narrow, deeply- 

 cut leaves, and seems to me ill-placed under 

 ^cesium. 



867 is an added species described by Dr. Boswell, 



in the " Report of the Botanical Exchange Club and 

 Edinburgh Transactions," formerly named as strictum. 

 It occurs plentifully in Glen Dollar, Clackmannan- 

 shire. 



868 is an added species first found by Mr. F. 

 Hanbury, in Caithness, since in Sutherland and 

 Orkney. Named by Dr. Almquist, and since confirmed 

 by Dr. Lindeberg, who calls it " forma latifolia." 



870 is the old //. Borreri. 



871, II. strictum of English authors. It is quite 

 undecided what name our plant should bear, as it 

 seems not to be the true plant of Fries. 



888, alter authority to "Linn." 



891^ alter to Icevipes, Koch. C. angustifolia is a 

 narrow-leaved form, gathered on the coast of Norfolk, 

 near Wells. I was enabled to identify this through 

 specimens kindly sent me by Dr. Buchanan, of Bremen, 

 from the East Friesian islands. 



901 b is a minute /from the downs of the southern 

 counties. 



905 c is a beautiful var. of the species found in 

 West Ireland by Mr. A. G. More ; it has flowers an 

 inch over. 



910 has two fresh names given to it. 



921. A better name for this is E. Mackaiua, Bab. 



927 should be Dabeocia. 



926 is 834, 7th ed. 



930, alter authority to "Linn.," and in 932 to 

 "Gray." 



933, //. monotropa, Crantz. 



935 is 1058, 7th ed. 



936 is 1060, 7th ed. 



941. This should read a. acaulis, Hill ; b. caulcscc/is, 

 Koch. 



947, alter authority to " Soland." 



961 b, alter to divcrsifolia, Ait. 



967 b is the form so often named E. iatifolia, Smith, 

 and figured as such in " Eng. Bot. Sup." 



970 £ is a var. found by Mr. Townsend in the Isle 

 of Wight. 



971 is an added species, easily recognised by its 

 stamens being inserted at the base of the corolla. 



976 b is a var. strongly simulating G. campestns and 

 flowering in May and June. 



983 should be C. Germanicum, Jacq. 



993, alter authority to " Gray." 



995, alter authority to " Relhan," and £ to 

 "M. et R." 



999, alter authority to " Willd." 



1002, an added species found near Kew, in Surrey, 

 by Mr. G. Nicholson. 



1008, substitute a small "s." 



1015 c is a yellow-berried form. 



1016 c is a greenish-yellow berried form. 

 1036 is 898, 7th ed. 



105 1 is 905, 7th cd ; but perhaps V. Toumefortii, 

 Vill., is an older name.
