Mr. Hunt has also collected and sent examples of Silene 
Armeria, Spiræa Filipendula, Cedronella triphylla, and Phleum 
pratense ; but accompanied by the suggestion, that they were 
introductions through cultivation or otherwise. Two others 
are marked doubtful in the list. The species which I enter 
doubtfully under the name of Dautus Carota (Linn.) is con- 
sidered by Dr. Charles Lemann, to be “certainly D. neg- 
lectus, Lowe Prim. Fl. Mader.’ It also resembles the 
specimens distributed among Borgeau's Canary plants, under 
the name of D. parviflorus (Desf.). To the Amaranthus I am 
not able to assign a specific name with any confidence. Two 
other Species are entered under names of most variable 
application. The Potamogeton lucens has narrower leaves - 
than our British plant, and is without fruit. The Festuca 
.. fhtior would be so named by English botanists; but it is 
ot Festuca pratensis (Huds.) ; neither is it exactly the plant 
. tended under name of Festuca arundinacea (Schreb.) in the 
“London Catalogue ; though nearer to the latter than to 
. the former, and probably the same as (or included in) 
F. arundinacea of Koch's Synopsis. It might seem strange 
~ that a conspicuous shrub, the Myrtus communis, should have —
