70 Mr Arnotf s Tour to the South of France 



Hedwigia nervosa is Grimmia apocarpa var. It is the G. striata of 



Turner, as Beauvois himself had long ago dis- 

 covered and marked in his herbarium. 



Hypnum arbuscula This is a Ilookeria. It resembles exceedingly 



Hookeria rotulata, but is much larger, being 

 about 3 or 4 inches in height. I should be 

 unwilling to separate the two, however, as 

 Beauvois' plant has not yet been found in fruit. 



,. II -.1 ■■ I ... confertum is ^. murale. 



. gnaphalium is Bartramia tomentosa. 



,— — longijflorum is //. stramineum. But there is another plant in 



Beauvois' herbarium under this name ; it is 

 //. Jluitans. 



. magellanicum is Hookeria viagellanica N. 



. . sipho is H. riparium. 



stoloniferum... is H. attenuatum, or Leskea attenuata Hedw. ; 



Mnium palmifolium is Dicranum semicompletum. 



— — — rubellum is Bryum carneum. 



Orthotrichum americanura is O. Hutchinsice. 



. heterophyllum. .is O. diaphanum. 



breve This is a mistake of the printer. In Beauvois* 



herbarium it is Iceve^ and the plant is the 

 same with the Schlotheimia torta of Schw. 



Pilotrichura biductulosum is Daltonia polytrichoides N. 



— — . — : denticulatum is Jungermannia Thouarsii Hook. 



— — serrulatura is probably a iV(?cA:em. There is no fruit, and 



it resembles somewhat Hookeria Langsdorfii. 



Poly trichum elatum \ 



.-, remotifolium.. V appear to be only P. commune. 



subpilosum.... j 



Splachnura pusillum This, of which Beauvois is ignorant of the loca- 

 lity, comes from Norway. It was sent to 

 Jussieu by Vahl, and was properly named by 

 him Spl. vasculomm. 



Trichostomum obtusifoliura....is T. aciculare. 



My partiality for botanical science was indeed no small rea- 

 son for my visit to the south of France ; and although the 

 month of March had only commenced, yet I had the prospect of 

 seeing wild the Mihora verna and Hutchinsia petrcea (two plants 

 although occurring in England, yet very scarce), with the Fa- 

 lantia cruciata, Andryale nemausensis. Astragalus incanus^ 

 Taraxacum IcBvigatum, Erodium Romanum, and some other 

 midi de la France plants, which Mr Bentham wrote to me had 

 long been in full bloom.
