D. Leaves pinnate, on aerial stems, flowers purplish-red. Water Septfoil, 202. 

 The Water Septfoil is properly and usually a marsh plant, but when grow- 

 ing on the borders of ponds, often extends into the water. The Purple 

 Lythrum also (p. 207) is occasionally found in the water. 



" 66, line 8 from bottom. " Ovary below the perianth : Trees and Shrubs." 

 To appearance, the genus Rose (p. 193) and all the species of the Apple 

 family (p. 187) should be placed in this section. But the seemingly inferior 

 ovary of the rose is in reality the urn-shaped calyx, contracted at the upper 

 part, and enclosing numerous free and superior ovaries. Similarly, in the 

 Apple-family, the fleshy vase-like calyx is adherent to the backs of the two to 

 five carpels. When the fruits of these plants are ripe, and present their 

 withered perianths and stamens upon the summit, the illusion is even greater 

 than when they were in bloom. 



" 70, hnes 10 — 11 from bottom, and p. 71, lines IJ — 15. In both of these 

 places should have been inserted a reference to the Gloxinia family, 

 p. 261. 



" 86, after " Ranunculus aquatilis" add *' Ranunculus circinatus, Capesthorne." 



" 109. Garden Malvaceae. Other commonly cultivated species are the 

 Lavatera and the Malope trifida. 



" 110. Tilia parvifoUa. Tabley Woods. (Sir. Holland.) 



" Hi. In the character of the first division of section B, omit the words 

 " very little branched." 



" 117, No. 11. The Cardamine sylvatica is only a luxuriant state of the 

 C. hirsuta, with the full complement of stamens. 



*' 121. Add to the list of common garden Cruciferse, the common cress, or 

 Lepidium sativum, sown as a companion to mustard ; and the double 

 white Eocket or Hesperis, resembling a stock-gilliflower, but with 

 broadly lanceolate or ovate and serrate leaves. 



" 123. Reseda Luteola. Lane on the river bank near Statham Pool, below 

 Lymm, plentiful. July 9th, 1859. 



" 136. Rumex Hydrolapatlmm. Mobberley, and about Tattou Mere. (Mr. 

 Holland.) 



" 142, line 9, for " thread-shaped, cylindrical," read " subulate or cylindrical." 



" 142, " 12 from bottom. There is a variety of the small stitchwort with 

 petals longer than the calyx. This may be distinguished from the 

 holostea by the sepals being three-ribbed, instead of ribless, and the 

 leaves entire instead of finely ciliated, as in the latter plant. 



" 143. Silene injiata. Abundant in the waste fields suri'ounding the new 

 copper-mine at Alderley. (Miss Hopps.)
