On the 14th June, having packed up and sent by the more 

 common and accessible road the greater part of our baggage, 

 we left Prats de Mollo, accompanied by a mule, loaded with as 

 much paper and provisions as might suffice for three days for the 

 whole party, and a guide to conduct us across the Canigou to 

 Prades. After experiencing some inconvenience from stormy 

 weather, we at length reached the Hermitage of St Guilhem. 

 The view from the top of the ridge was extremely fine, extending 

 a great way down the valleys and the lower Pyrenees to the east, 

 or rather, I may say, to the Alberes mountains. At the sum- 

 mit of this ridge, too, the vegetation was changed in a great de- 

 gree. We now observed truly alpine plants, among which were 

 Polygonum alpinum, Thymus alpinus, Epilohmm alsincBfo- 

 lium, and Jasione humilis. This last species, I may remark, 

 has been confounded by some with J. perennis, but really ap- 

 pears very distinct. J. perennis has, on the other hand, been 

 united by some to J. montana, but that is an annual species. I 

 do not know what Sir J. E. Smith's opinion is; but even in his 



• Mr Bentham remarks with justice, in his Catalogvxe, p. 125. that T. Xa- 

 tardi var. a. in DC. Prod, is precisely the T. maritimum^ but that his var. /3, or 

 T. bceticum, seems a distinct specie^ 



X The Tr. hyhridum, Savi and DC Prod, is not T. hybridum, Linn. To 

 this last T, micMianum, Savi, is a synonym. For the plant in question, there- 

 fore, the name given by Lapeyrouse, T. intermedium^ must be retained, and 

 the T. intermedium^ Gu«sone and DC. Prod, must (if a legitimate species) be 

 new jnaraed.
