liJU THE .TOURXAL OF BOTAXY 



Si/nopsis. I have not traced aii}^ specimens collected by Goodyer. 

 Since P. lonr/ifoUa now occurs in so many places in the New Forest, 

 it is to be inferred that it was the species Avhich Goodver found, 

 otherwise it would be possible to suppose that it was P. saccharaia, 

 perha])s escaped from Holbur}^ House. 



When binominalist authors are consulted, confusion is seen to have 

 been caused by their reference to Parkinson. Hudson (Fl. Angl. 67 : 

 1762) refers to Goodyer's plant as P. ojjicinnlis, citing in ed. 2 

 Fl. Dan. t. 482, which is true P. qfficinaJis. Stokes in Withering 

 {Bot. Ar)\ii(\. 2. i. 198-4: 1787) deals with the contlicting accounts 

 and makes a more correct identification, in accordance with Hay etc. 

 Under P. officinalis he says : *' Given on the authority of Mr. Hudson, 

 who refers to FL dan. 482, the P. officinalis and also to Ger. em. 

 808. 2, P. syn. 226 which is the P. angusfifolia, and gives no place 

 of growth except the one transcribed from Rav." Under P. angusti- 

 folia is cited " Fl. dan. 4im.— Ger. 662. 2.—C1us. ii. 170. 1. rep. in 



Ger. em. 808. 2, ' Mr. Goodyer found it in a wood by Holbury 



House in the New Forest, Hampshire.' Johnson in Ger. em. 800 



The authority of Mr. Goodyer is cited also by Parkinson, but 



who supposes him to have found the P. officinalis.'" 



Hull (Brit. Flora, 47 : 1799) follows' Stokes, but Smith (Fl. Brit. 

 1. 217: 1800) refers Goodyer's plant to P. officinalis, together with 

 Abbot's record of P. officinalis for Bedfordshire and liobson's for 

 Darlington. 



Smith further remarks " Pulmonaria anr/itsfifolia Britanniae 

 dubia civis est. Folium e Wallia, ab amicissimo D, Kobson missum, 

 ad Sf/mphi/fum fuherosam potius pertinere olim mihi visum est." 

 Smith's reference to Kobson ma}^ be explained by reference to Wither- 

 ing (ed. 8. ii. 228 : 1796), where we read : — " Mr. Kobson informs me 

 that he liad a specimen sent him in the year 1783, by the late 

 Mr. AVaring, of Leescrood, Flintsli., who found it [P. angusfifolia'] 

 growing wild on the ruins of tlie Monasterv Maes Glas" (see Phil. 

 Trans. Ixi. 378: 1772). In ed. iv. (ii. 224:" 1801) is added:— "but 

 Mr. Griffith says Mr. Waring's s]iecimen proves to be the Ancliusa 

 sempervirens^' (see also Bot. Guide, 292: 180-3). After the redis- 

 covery of Pulmonaria, Smith (E. B. 1628) states "we are now satis- 

 fled of its being what Mr. Waring sent Mr. Kobson from Flintshire." 

 The leaf is not in Smith's herbarium, only Kobson's letter which con- 

 tained a request that the leaf should be returned. Doubtless Griffith's 

 determination is correct. 



In 1804 Griffith discovered a Pulmonaria in the Isle of Wight, 

 between Newport and Kyde : this was figmvd in English Botang 

 (t. 1628), published Aug. 1, 1806, from specimens collected by Boirer 

 and Dawson 'J'urner on .June 3 of that year. Bromfield (Fl. Yect. 323 : 

 1856) gives a good description, noticing that the leaves vary in 

 breadth a good deal, and making a var. " /? leaves lineai'-lanceolate " 

 with " P. azurea Besser" as a synonym. Tliis a})pears to be the first 

 mention of P. azurea as an English ])lant. The ])revious identification 

 was merely as P. angusfifolia L. whicli ])robal)ly inchided various 

 narrow-leaved Pulmonarias. The identilication by Smitli in English 

 Bofnng,{\s previously by Stokes, was witli Fl. Dan. t. 483. Tin's ])late
