BOTANY OF THE AZORES. 393 
v 254. Luzula purpurea (Wats.)—Quite different from n. 
152 of Bourgeau's Canary plants, distributed under the name 
of L. purpurea (Link.) and L. Berthelotii (Nees). The spe- 
cimens from Bourgeau approximate more closely to Luzula 
elegans (Lowe); and if the specific name * purpurea" is 
rightly applied to those specimens, it cannot be retained for 
the Azoric species. For a specific name to this latter, we 
must either adopt the inconveniently long “purpureo-splen- 
dens” of Seubert, or my own earlier one of “ Azorica,” which 
I proposed in this Journal, in 1843, (and used on my labels) 
Instead of the incorrectly applied “elegans.” I may refer to 
the * Catalogue’ for further explanations. 
v 284. Setaria verticillata (Beauv.)—Mr. Hunt has fully 
confirmed this as an Azoric plant, by sending dried specimens 
of it from St. Michael’s. It also came up in earth sent at the 
. Toots of other things from the same island. 
v 293. Deyeuxia Azorica (Hochst.) — Dr. Charles Lemann 
pronounces my n. 293 to be Piptatherum multiflorum_(Beauv.) 
E It may still be the D. Azorica as well. 
v . 998. Agrostis pallida (De Cand.?)—The same excellent 
i nist considers my n. 298 to be certainly the Deyeuxia 
~ poss (Hochst.) ; as, indeed, was suggested in the * Cata- 
"Sue. It seems doubtful, however, whether either of these 
two plants should be placed in the genus Deyeuzia. de 
.908. Bromus mollis (Linn.) var.—This variety (or, pos- 
sibly, species) has now been raised four successive years in 
Sand, and preserves its peculiarities quite unchanged. 
“ut it is difficult to describe its differences on paper, com- 
Pared with the ordinary state of B. mollis. The dense panicle, 
Br hairs, and more oblong form of the spikelets, give an 
“Yesight distinction, but scarcely a describable one. i

Ig and pubescent varieties have been sent from St.
