36 NOTES ON NOMENCLATURE, ETC. 



these "Notes" is merely to fiilly describe the forms of Potamogeton 

 that grow in the fens, or which I may be able to cultivate. I have 

 to warmly thank the Eev. Thomas Morong for a fine series of his 

 proposed species, and for examining and naming my Cambridgeshire 

 specimens ; and Mr. Bennett, too, for first suggesting that my 

 plant was P. varians, and for the loan of books and specimens. 



NOTES ON NOMENCLATUEE, &c. 



FROM LaNGE's * NOMENCLATOR FlOR^ DaNICE.' 



[The following notes are extracted from the ' Nomenclator Florae 

 Danicae,' in accordance with a promise made in this Journal for 

 1888, p. 254. Mr. Arthur Bennett has kindly added an occasional 

 note, which is placed in square brackets, with his initials attached.] 



Anthericiim cahjculatum Oed. — '* Lmn^us species 2 bene dis- 

 tinctas conjunxit, quarum major, in montibus Europ^e australioris 

 et quoque in insula Gottlandia occurrens, vulgo nomine Linn^ano 

 {Tojieldia caJijculata) designata, in Fl. Dan. Suppl. tab. 13 exhibetur, 

 haec vero minor, in paludibus Europe borealis crescens, T. borealis 

 vulgo appellatur, etsi lege prioritatis h^ec potius T. yalustris Huds. 

 (non DC.) esset nominanda." 



Sedum anglicum L. and Hudsonianum Lange. — " De formis Sedi 

 anglici conf. Lange, Pugill. pi. Hisp. p. 243 (Vidensk. Medd. f. 

 Naturb. Foren. 1865, p. 48). Forma h. 1. depicta, in Norvegia 

 lecta, radice perenni, foliis subgloboso-ovalibus obtusissimis, petalis 

 planiusculis, carpella multo superantibus etc., distinguenda sistit 

 S. anglicum Huds. typicum quare I. c. a Hudsonianum nominatum 

 est." 



Potamogeton mucronatns Schrad. — *' Potamogeton compressns L. a 

 plerisque, duce E. Fries (Nov. p. 44) cum P. zostercefolio Schum. 

 identica habetur ; cum vero alii nomen Linnaeanum ad P. ohtusi- 

 foliiim M. K., alii ad P. acntifoUum Lk., alii denique ad banc nostram 

 speciem (P. mncronatum Schrad.) retulerint ob ambiguitam nominis 

 P. compressi praeferendum erit hoc nomen relinquere. Nostra planta 

 certissime est P. mucronatus Schrad. (P. Friesii B.u-pv., P. imsillus 

 major Fr.), species intermedia inter P. ohtusifolium M. K. et 

 P. 2^i(silhim L. Linnaeus ipse ceterum pro P. compresso suo tabu- 

 lam nostram citavit quae evidenter a P. zostercefolio Schum. valde 

 aliena est." [I hold this to be a doubtful name ; Roemer and 

 Schultes (Mant. iii.) and Mertens and Koch (Deutsch. Flora) 

 think it is only Cornntus=iacuminatus, Schum. i. e. lucens var. aciimi- 

 natus of British botanists. — A. B.]

 Optimo jure in 2 species divisa est quarum altera, 6'. Scanica Fr. 

 (6'. Behen Drej.), praecipue ad maris Baltici et occidentalis littora 

 occurrit, altera vero, S. hahuHiemis Fr. (6\ rr/ ?7//ora Drej.), httoribus
