This defcription is taken from feveral very excellent fpecimens in - 
the Linnzan colleétion, for I have never feen any of Britifh growth. - 
It owes its place, therefore, in the lift of Englifh plants, entirely to 
Mr. Hudfon, as Dr. Withering alfo remarks, and I am not without 
a fufpicion of his having miftaken the true B. /ecalinus for this 
{pecies.
