BOTANY OF THE AZORES. 385 
sylvatica (Link). The latter is nearer C. Calderarum (Guth.) 
though distinct enough from that much prettier Azoric 
species. 
y M. Raphanus Raphanistrum (Linn).—Cultivation during 
four years in England, that is, during four descents of this 
annual plant, has partially annihilated the difference which 
was at first obvious between the pods of the. Azoric and 
wild English plants. 
¥ 15. Cakile maritima (Scop.) var.—The peculiar form of 
the pod, and its usually seminiferous lower joint, have 
hitherto proved hereditary in the plants raised in England; 
but the differences are too slight for specific diagnosis. 
v 19. Viola odorata (Linn.)—The Azoric plant is apparently 
the same thing with V. Maderensis (Lowe), but I fear it is 
neither truly aboriginal in the Azores, nor a species distinct 
from V. odorata. Mr. Webb thus remarks upon it by letter: 
* This is certainly the Maderensis of Lowe, but it is only 
One of the hundred forms of V. odorata." 
= * 9l. Arenaria macrorhiza (Req.)—Specimens collected by 
. . myself, and others since communicated by Mr. Hunt, must 
| ng to this species, according to the brief description in 
Do where it is enumerated as a variety of À. 
Marina (Linn.) This latter is said, by Seubert,to be fre- 
. Quent on the coast rocks of all the islands. I do not 
: recollect to have seen it there, but a maritime form of 
A. rubra was observed in some places, and the ordinary 
A. rubra (Linn,) more inland. Mr. Hunt also sends me 
A. rubra,

| Lemann » “is identical with H. Beticum of Boissier, who 
gives a figure, and remarks in his Addenda to the Flora of ——— 
: that it is probably only a variety of H. nile : 
of Schousbæ, formerly considered a variety of H. quadran- 
Sum (Linn) but quite distinct. We have this species als 
in Madeira.” Most of the botanists to whom I commun 
“ted specimens of the Azoric plant, pronounced it 
à southern form of H, enter Lom
