TOURNEFORt's •' TOPOGRAPHTE nOTAXIQUE." 121 



printed in Bol. Soe. Brot. viii. 191-247 : here also are slight dif- 

 ferences between the text and the MS. 



So far as I am aware, none of the second or third sections has 

 been published ; the only printed reference ^to the latter is that cited 

 above for the Gibraltar species. 



The Sloane Herbarium contains (H. S. 7, ff. 3-8) Spanish plants 

 from Tournefort, with labels in his hand, which 1 think belong to his 

 1681 expedition : others from Spain and Portugal, similarity labelled, 

 are in H. S. 80, 116-125. Others are in Petiver's " Hortus Siccus 

 Hispaniai" (H. S. 166) and in H. S. 1-43 and 144, in all of which the 

 plants of Jaime Salvador (1649-1740), who accompanied Tournefort 

 on his journeys, are largelv represented ; an account of their relations 

 will be fovmd in Colmeiro's admirable La Botanica de la Peninsula 

 Hisfano-Lvsitana , p. 159 (1858), in which (p. 68) is also a reference 

 to the Banksian MS. Numerous letters from Tournefort to Sloane, 

 ranging in date from 1685 to 1704 are in the Sloane MSS. (see Index 

 to these, p. 44).

SHORT NOTE. 



Foliage of PrLAioXARiA. In his excellent paper on "British 

 Pulmonarias " (Journ. Bot. 1917), Mr. Wilhuott remarks, o jyropoa 

 of P. loiHiifolia Bast. {P. aru/usfifolia auct. angl., non L.) that 

 " the spotting is much more variable than Iverner would lead us to 

 suppose " (p. 287). Last year Miss Jekyll kindly sent me a root of 

 her P. azurea Besser (P. anc/nstifolia L., seNsii sfricfo), which is 

 clearly distinct from our New Forest plant. This is now (March 13) 

 in flower ; and 1 was surprised to see that the early leaves are (as a 

 rule) evidently, though faintly, spotted. The Suffolk P. ohscnra 

 Dumort. (P. officinalis, var. immaculata Opiz) is normally un- 

 spotted ; but Dr. Hind wrote that a form with faintly blotched 

 foliage might occasionally be found. It thus appears, as might be 

 expected, that in several sjiecies the normal character is by no means 

 always constant. I remember that the latei- root-leaves of the Bui-- 

 gate Wood P. ohsciira differed a])])reciably from those of ordinary 

 P. amptsti^'olia; but unfortunately, though I grew this for over ten 

 years, I failed to dry any of them. It grows in one or two other 

 neighbouring copses or woods, and is (I believe) a true native. A 

 natural hybrid with P. loiujif'olia occurred in my gai'dcn at Milford, 

 Surrev. — Euward S. Makshall.
