on the Genus Juncus of Linnccus. 325 



This is unquestionably a good species, and the llev. Hugh 

 Duvies's remarks leave me nothing to add to the diagnostic de- 

 scription. " The panicle of this is more branched than that of 

 the last, the branches more slender and spreading, the divisions 

 of the calyx narrower and longer, the capsule smaller, much more 

 taper-pointed and lighter-coloured ; culm of fewer joints, that 

 and the leaves less compressed. It is a taller plant, sometimes 

 above three feet high, and it ripens later." I cannot persuade 

 myself that Ray did not intend this species and not obtusijlorns by 

 his J. neniorosus folio articuloso ; since in his Hist. Plant, he quotes 

 Get: 20. 10. (a most excellent representation of the obtusiforus) 

 with a doubt.
