134 The Flora of Wiitshire. 
which the “A. miniata” and perhaps flammea of Jacquin, Fl. Austr. 
t. 354 and 355, may be ranged is a very distinct species, known by 
its mostly fine narrow scarlet petals, long and slender spike of 
seeds, and less bushy habit. This has never been found in Eng- 
land, for specimens sent by my late worthy friend Dr. Withering, 
shows his “estivalis” to be but a starved and paler “autumnalis.”

These are the only localities I find recorded among my Botanical 
notes on the Flora of the county. From its small size, averaging 
from two to four inches high, it may be readily passed over unless 
diligently sought for. I am more particularly desirous of having 
Districts 2 and 4 filled upon competent authority, but any localities 
that may be hereafter detected in the county, are particularly re- 
quested for future publication.
