having been all day on our legs, without any re- 
freshment except what a servant had carried with 
us; but I believe our satisfaction much exceeded 
our fatigue. 
“Aug. 15. This day Dr. Bellardi and myself as- 
cended the hill called Ronche, immediately behind 
the hospital, where Professor Allioni first disco- 
vered Viola Cenisia and Campanula Cenisia. Dr. 
Bellardi found them this day, though I was not so

sides of a little rivulet, in the very highest part of 
the mountain, a little Carev of great rarity, the 
juncifolia of Allioni’s Flora Pedemontana. This is 
surely the same species as Lightfoot’s C. encurva, 
though on the Alps its stem is seldom curved. I 
have it also from Iceland. Juncus triglumis grew 
along with it, and in other parts of the hill Carex 
fetida of Allioni, and C. atrata, with Anterrhinum 
multicaule. 
“Before the post-house are some remarkable 
white limestone rocks, on which grow Dianthus 
virgineus, and the real Festuca spadicea (see Trans. 
of Linn. Soc. vol. i. p.111). Below these rocks, by 
the lake, I gathered the most beautiful Gentzana 
asclepiadea, and in the surrounding pastures 4gro- 
stema Flos Jovis, Senecio Doronicum, Aster alpi- 
nus, Centaurea uniflora, Arnica montana, and the 
Rumew arifolius of Linneus’s Supplement, which 
last is, I presume, more certainly a native of the 
Alps than of Abyssinia. Immediately before the 
hospital is great plenty of Rwmex alpinus, and a
