294 POLTGONACEiE. 



For particulars concerning this plant see Jour. Bot. iv. N.S. 294, 295, 

 337 ; V. 1-4 ; also Boswell, in Bot. Ex. Club Eep.., 1875, 24. Professor 

 Babington has informed me that this Plymouth plant agrees well with 

 that of the French north-west coasts. Some account of a presumed liyl:irid 

 between R. riqjestris and E. 2^ulcher mil be fomid after the notice of the 

 latter species.
