capitatis pedicellatis, sepalis ovatis ciliatis glabris, pedicellis ciliato- 

 tomentosis, corollis oblongo-ovatis, antheris aristatis inclusis stylo 

 exserto." The exact station is on Craigha Moira, Connemara. In 

 the same paper I have proved that the Crepis ted&rum of our Eng- 

 lish authors and of English botanists is C. virens of Linnaeus, and 

 C. tedm'um has not yet been found in Britain. I have also added 

 three species of Pohjgonimi to our native list : (1) P. maritimum (Linn.), 

 gathered by Mr. Borrer near Christchurch ; (2) P. Eaii (new species), 

 the F. aviculare nuiritimum of authors, specific character : " Stem 

 procumbent, herbaceous, stipules 2-partite ovate at length, torn, 

 with few distant unbranched ribs, flowers axillary, fruit smooth, 

 larger than the perianth " ; found in Cornwall, Anglesea, near 

 Dublin, and at Barmouth; (3) P. dumetorimi (Linn.), found at 

 Wimbledon by W. Hankey. There has been some doubt expressed 

 about this plant having been really found there, owing to Mr. 

 Hankey's original specimen having been lost. I have this year 

 obtained the true plant from that place. In your " British Flora," 

 ed. 3, you have not given my station for Scheiochzeria palustris at 

 Bomere Pool, near Shrewsbury. I think that the Hieracium found 

 by me on Breidden, and referred by you to alpinum, ("British 

 Flora") is not that plant, but either a variety of Pilosella or a new- 

 species. I should like to have a perfect set of Mr. Gardiner's 

 "Mosses," and hope that you will let my name be put down for one. 

 In a note sent to you at about this time last year (with some speci- 

 mens of Leontodon levigatus, D.C.), I mentioned that there were 

 several deficiencies in my copy of your " Botanical Miscellany," and 

 that I had not been able to get them from Murray ; I have not yet 

 been able to obtain them ; what shall I do ? I hope that you will 

 make any use of the above you think proper. I noticed this year 

 Zarmichellia, with anthers of two, three, and four cells on the same 

 plant, in Staffordshire. — Believe me, yours truly, Charles C. 

 Babington. 



My friend, R. M. Lingwood, Esq., of Christ's College, Cam- 

 bridge, wishes his name to be put down for one of the best copies 

 of Mr. Gardiner's "Mosses." His copy may be sent to me. I hope 

 to be able to send your son some insects before long ; will you tell 

 me who is your agent in London now ? If you have a specimen to 

 spare of the new Alyssum I should be much obliged for one. What 

 a nice discovery that is of Dr. Graham's, of Ononis redinata. 



To the same. 



St. John's College, Cambridge, Oct. 18, 1837. 



My dear Sir, — I have recently received a letter from our friend 

 Christy, in which he says you wish to have the new Jersey plants 

 to introduce in a new edition of the "British Flora." I have great 

 pleasure in sending to you all the information that I can suppose 

 will be of use to you, and hope that you will publish any part of it
