THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 



ductory aud foot notes are the only parts written in English. The 

 original British habitat, Shute Common, Devon, is duly recorded 

 for Lobelia iirens L., and this neighbourhood is stated to be the only 

 station for the species in Britain ; no reference, however, is made 

 to the Cornish record satisfactorily recorded in this Journal for 

 1883, p. 359, by the late T. R. Archer Briggs. The law of priority 

 is disregarded in continuing to prefer the name Wahlenhergia Schrad. 

 (1814) to Cervicina Dehle, Fl. Egypte, p. 150 (1812). 



An example of " the few additions likely to ensue with the 

 diminishing area of unturned soil " occurs in the inclusion (page 11) 

 oi Aster salifjmis Willd., found in Wicken Fen, Cambridgeshire, in 

 1867, " a patch of undrained soil, where it is possible that it is 

 native." 



On the scale of this specimen sheet, the whole British flora 

 would occupy about a thousand pages, or sixty such sheets ; and it 

 is to be hoped that Mr. Williams himself will enrich our literature 

 with its continuation and completion. __, ^ ^-.
