FIKST RECORDS OF BRITISH FLOWERING PLANTS. 501) 



1893,88. After Epilobium obscurum insert " E. Lamyi F. 

 Schultz was lirst referred to, as far as I am aware, 

 in Phytol. o. s. iv. 933 (1853)."

 1894, 13. Centunculus. Mr. Druce informs me that the "Cha- 

 ma^hnum stellatum Park. . . . Beyond Redding " of 

 How Pliyt. (1G50) was most probably this plant. 

 ,, 17. After Verbascum virgatum insert " V. Blattaria L. 

 Sp. PL 178 (1753). 1629. ' Blattaria vulgaris flo. 

 luteo.' — Jolms. Kent, 10."

 ,, 244. Atriplex littoralis. After " riguis " insert " pratis." 

 ,, 807. Euphorbia Peplis. For " In tu " read " Inter." 

 ,, 341. Salix lapponum L. It appears from the 'Essays on 

 Natural History' of Dr. .John Walker that this was 

 first observed by him in the parish of Moffat, in July, 

 17G2. 

 1895,16. Cephalanthera ensifolia. Substitute "1666. 'Helle- 

 borine angustifol. fl. albo oblongo. In Helkwood in 

 Yorkshire, not far from Ingleborough.' — Merrett, 61."

 Cat. ex With. Bot. Arr. ed. 2, 1049 (1787). C. ventri- 

 cosa Curtis, Fl. Lond. vi. 68 (c. 1790). 'Discovered 

 by Mr. Curt. [CurLis] , Charlton-wood, Kent, Mr. 

 Woodward.' But see Curtis, I. c. and Linn. Soc. 

 Trans, ii. 181." 

 ,, 472, Cynosurus cristatus. Substitute "1605. 'Pratis 

 Londinensis agri juxta Hackneum.' — Lob. Adv. pars

As a brief summary of some interesting facts deducible from 

 the list now concluded, it appears that Tniner's works (1538-1568) 

 contain references to at least 230 species of British flowering plants. 

 Lobel adds 67, and Gerard 181 ; thus we find that about 480 .species 

 have been known for 300 years.* In Johnson's w^orks (1629-1641) 

 we get first records of 160 more. Parkinson (1640) adds 27, many 

 of them very interesting — e. g. Arbntits, the first Irish record, and 

 the strangely late first notice of Pinus sijlvestris. In How's Pliytologia 

 we get 16 new plants ; Merret adds 40 ; Plukenet 1 {Subularia) ; 



Bauhin (1620) gives us our first Scotch plant (Trientalh).
