 one hand, E. ahhreviatum (in the striate leaves and frequently 

 narrow cells), and on the other var. rigidum ; it cannot be referred 

 to the latter, I think, on account of the habit and texture, the 

 striate leaves, etc." I found this plant growing in the splash of a 

 tiny cascade on the coast to the east of Looe and afterwards saw 

 it pendent from the dripping roof of a wayside well near West 

 Looe. Mr. Eilstone tells me that near Polperro mosses of 

 Eiirynchium Swartzii "are often plants of wet spots and have 

 greatly puzzled me, seeming to suggest E. speciosjmi." — E. tenel-

BIBLIOGEAPHICAL NOTES. 



LXVI. — The Word Herbarium. 



The Latin word Herbarium, originally used as the title of 

 botanical works, has been applied in Latin books, at any rate since 

 the time of Linnaeus, to a collection of dried plants." 



* Some interesting notes on early herbaria by Mr. Druce are reprinted in 

 this Journal for 1890, pp. 27B-8. I do not however think that the label on 

 the back of an early (1606) collection — " Herbarum Divers [arum J Nat [uralium] , 

 etc.," can be regarded, as Mr. Druce supposes, as "the title of a collection of 

 plants"; it seems to be incomplete.
