 The Plymouth plant is not typical Bloxamii, and Babmg-ton's remarks 

 that follow are applicable to the examples at all the stations. I would 

 observe, however, that a specimen of the Crabtree plant was named 

 Bloxamii by the late Rev. A. Bloxam. Babington observes, "Of 

 course this plant from ]\Iarsh jMills (sent to Bot. Ex. Club) is not typical. 

 A specimen of the same from Crabtree is marked in my Herb, as 

 authentic R. rhenanus, MiilL, on the authority of Genevier. I cannot 

 find any description of rhenanus, and have no foreign specimen of it. 

 It differs in several respects from true R. Bloxamii, of which I have a 

 good series before me from Lees and Bloxam, by its much more hairy 

 stem — indeed, hairiness throughout — but especially by its beautiful 

 pyramidal, open, nearly naked panicle, with long corymbose, few-floAvered 

 branches, which are quite simple in their lower part." Rej^. Bot. Ex. 

 Club, \^11-1S, 6.
