18i WOULD-DISTRIBUTIOK OF THE BRITISH CARYOPHYLLACE^. 



II. Silene noctijlora. — California, Barclay ! British Columbia, Dou- 

 glas ! Perhaps should be regarded as an alien for America. 



III. Silene conica. — The plant intended from Hindostan, probably 

 S. conoidea, which is much more eastern in its range than conica, and 

 frequent in N. India. 



VI. Silene acaulis. 



VI. Lychnis alpina. — Gathered by the Moravian missionaries in 

 Labrador. 



III. Lychnis Viscaria. 



III. Lychnis Flos-cuctili. — The South European L. Gyrilli, Eicht. 

 a variety. 



II. Lychnis diurna. — The Austrian L. nemoj'alis, Heuff., only a 

 slight variety. 



III. Lychnis vespertina. — L. divaricata, Reich., and L. macrocarpa^ 

 Boiss. et Eeut., appear to form together a third subspecies, with a 

 range through S. Europe and N. Africa, the distribution of which is 

 in the Floras much mixed up with that of the other two. 



I. Lychnis Githago. — Cape and Australia ; probably introduced re- 

 cently. 



IV. Moenchia erecta. — M. octandra, a variety only. — Including this it 

 reaches Greece, Von Heldreich ! Tangiers, Broussonet ! and Armenia. 



IV. Sagina maritima. — *S'. stricta of Fries, though kept as distinct 

 by Nyman and Grenier, seems absolutely the same as Don's plant. 

 The English name has priority over the Scandinavian one by a few 

 years, but it seems most probable that the S. fiUformis of Pourret, in 

 the third volume of the ' Memoirs of the Toulouse Academy,' bearing 

 date 1788, is the same. The Japanese and Chinese S. maxdma, A. 

 Gray {■=S. sinensis, Hance), differs from this principally by its more 

 robust stature. 



I. Sagina ape.tala. — Eeaches Chili, Bridges ! Fhilippi! and Australia 

 (Melbourne, Adamson I). 



V. Sagina ciliata. — Identical not only with tlie French S.patula, but 

 also the German S. depressa, Schultz, Suppl. Fl. Starg. p. 10 (1819). 

 Reaches eastward to Lombardy and Ischia. 



I. Sagina procimibens. — A plant of the Andes, extratropical South 

 America, and Australia. 



VI. Sagina saxatilis. — Reaches the Himalayas, Boyle! Edgev'orth ! 

 etc. Gay afterwards placed his Asturian Spergula sabuletorum as a variety
