garden (near Warrington). Petals always present in this 

 species, (obcordate, or deeply notched in the common 

 sort,) smaller, wedge-shaped, and truncated in the variety, 

 permanent in both, and always visible, beneath the ripe cap- 

 sule, as well as the filaments. Leaves (in the variety) all 

 tipped with bristles, but nearly as smooth as in S. maritima: 

 the capsule on a rather shorter stalk than in that. 



49. Moenchia erecta. — Cheshire, June 8, 1827. — Teeth of 

 the capsule blunt, as in Cerastium. Stems generally inclined. 



50. Radiola millegrana. — 1826. — Leaves very indistinctly, 

 if at all, 3-ribbed, with scattered pellucid dots : the descrip- 

 tion in Eng. FL otherwise very good. 



51. My osoixs palustris. — September, 1826. — Germenuot in- 

 serted into the base of the calyx, but attached to the base of 

 the style, subsequently swelled. In the nearly ripe fruit, the 

 base of the style is thickened, above the insertion of the 

 germens, and enlarged below, being then somewhat com- 

 panulate, and four-sided. I hardly think Schrader correct in 

 terming it a receptacle, since the style is thickened as well 

 above as below the seeds, and hence appears to be one con- 

 tinuous body. This observation applies to* the Generic Char. 



Corolla in M. palustris, with five prominences, hollow be- 

 neath, at the interstices of the limb, the segments of which 

 are not ribbed. 



52. Myosotis sylvatica. — May 8, 1827. — The part to which 

 the seeds are attached is flat, not prominent, and agrees 

 better with the Generic Char, in Eng. El. 



53. Myosotis alpestris. — Ben Lawers, July, 1827. — Stem 

 angular, the limb of the corolla not much longer than the 

 tube. 



54. Myosotis arvensis. — September, 1826. — Segments of 

 the calyx much longer than the tube, and they are clothed 

 in the lower part, like the tube, with hooked bristles. Tube 

 of the corolla much widened at the base, and closed, at the 

 base, with ten teeth, just above the germen. Seeds polished 

 and keeled, dark-olive-coloured; the axillary flowers often 

 wanting. Anthers triangular? with a blunt horn at the
