aiid the Pyrenees^ in 1825. 



A. imhricata. As to the true A. In-yoides, Roemer and Schultes 

 seem to have it in view in their description of A. ftelvetica. 



Lapeyrousc says that Sarcocapnos eiineaphylla grows on the 

 walls of Notre Dame de Nouri : we saw no such plant. Rumex 

 pyrenaiaift also indicated here, is merely 7?. acetosella. 



On the 2()th, as I have already mentioned, we re-ascended 

 the Cucillade, and followed our old track pretty closely till we 

 got to the Jasse de Delmau, keeping the river on our left : we 

 then ascended a ravine to our right, which in fact constituted a 

 part of the mountain of Cambredazes ; and here we soon found 

 Daphne collina^ and Alyssum* diffiisum, DC. How far this 

 last really differs from A. mmitanum, I cannot point out : it is 

 certainly, to use a favourite phrase among such modern bota- 

 nists as seem afraid of uniting too much, " nimis affinisT We 

 again met with Androsacc imhricata upon the rocks, as well as 

 Primula viscosa, Androsacc villosa, and Pedicularis comosa. 

 Returning to the Cabanasse by the village of Eynes, we found 

 in a meadow Angelica pyrencBa, Spr. (Seseli pyrencBum, L.), 

 and Phleum commutatum. 



These, with a few others, as Salix retusa, S. pyrenaica (with 

 which *S'. ovata, Ser. is identical), Biscutella hicida, Trifolium 

 ccespitosum, Pediadaris rostrata, Poientilla H alter i^ Ser., Ar- 

 temisia mutellina, Ornitliogalum luteum^ and Pyrethrum aJpi- 

 nnm, of each of which we only procured at most one or two spe- 

 cimens, and whose precise localities I do not remember, formed 

 the most interesting part of our three days' herborization. 



With the exception of a walk round Mont Louis, to search 

 for NepcEta latifolia and violacea (which, however, we did not 

 see), we were principally engaged till the 30th in drying our 

 plants. That day, however, we resolved to ascend the moun- 

 tain of Cambredazes. 



This mountain, at least what fronted us, is in the shape of a 

 horse shoe, with an immense valley in the centre, towards which, 

 on all sides, but particularly at the farther end, the rocks were 



• I intended here to have made a few remarks on Mr Brown's paper on 

 Alyssum^ published in the Appendix to Denham and Clapperton's Narrative, 

 which I for the first time saw in Glasgow, at Dr Hooker's. I took no notes 

 of it, trusting to see it in Edinburgh ; but I now find no copy has as yet reached 

 this quarter.
