Recorded from France, South Spain, Berlengas. [Since Mr. 

 Baker's paper was published, Mr. Arthur Bennett has sent this 

 to the British Museum Herbarium from the Island of Tiree, 

 Hebrides, collected by Mr. Symers MacVicar in 1896.]

 P. Coronopus var. simplex Dene. 



Leaves carnose, linear, acuminate, subentire, scarcely dentate, 

 ciliate or smooth, rachis sub-8-nerved, peduncles slender, erect. 



Recorded from Sweden, France, Spain, Mediterranean Region, 

 reaches South Persia, Canary Islands. 



Sir J. E. Smith, in the Kwillsh Flora, places as var. ft. of P. Com- 

 nnpiis, Plantago graminea folio hirsuto, minor, capitula rotundo 

 brevi, Dill, in Rail Si/71. ed. 3, 316. This may approach the above 

 variety. 



6. CuPANi Dene, in DC. Prod. xiii. 1, 732. 



P. Cupcoii Guss. FL Sic. 190; Ic Fl. Sic. t. 70, fig. 1. 



Leaves rosulate, with narrow rachis and narrow segments, spikes 

 oblong, bracts ovate, rotund, acute, shorter than the calyx. 



Hab. Mountain pastures. 



Recorded from Sicily and Morocco. 



This is very different from type P. Coronopus L., especially if 

 the plants generally referred here from the Atlas Mountains are 

 correctly so placed. The root is stout and probably perennial. 



Dr. Wirtgen, in his 8th Fascicle of Critical Rhenish Plants, dis- 

 tributes a form of P. Coronopus, which he calls forma bipinnatifida, 

 the leaves being pinnatifid, with narrow rachis and segments. 

 There is a plant in the Kew Herbarium from the cliffs near Fresh- 

 water Bay which closely approaches this latter form.

 Richtcr gives nine other names under which this appears in J*juropcan 

 Floras. He calls it "endemic"; the American plants, according to 

 Bailey, are erroneously referred here. The plant formerly so called, 

 from Greenland, may have been C. Drcjeriana Lange, PI. L)an. 

 t. 2975. The name of the 1st ed. of the Species I'lantarwn is 

 perhaps not quite free from ambiguity ; still from Fries to the 

 present time it is well understood to mean a tufted plant, strict in 

 habit, with many leafless sheaths at the base, regularly arranged 

 fruiting spikes (much like C. Hitdsonii on a small scale), glumes
