MONTHLY BOTANICAL REPORT. 
TF the Botunical Aogamine occasionally admits plants of low. degree in point of heauty, we 
_genenera'ly find, thatim such cascs correctness. and taste in the design, and Dr. Sims's 
higoly instructive text, make ample amends, and apelozize, at it were, for what no scieniific 
botanist can consider as a subject of the ‘slightest complaint. The Mountain Sandworty, 
Avenaria montana, with wnich the lass Number of the Magazine opens, though one of the

Species 18 a native of Southern Europe. The synonym from Tournefort, adduced by Ving

“fully studied the synonymy of this species, informs us, that Scheuchzer, in describing, in 
his Jtinera Alpina, a plant as Tourhefort’s Myosotis lusitanica, &c. (our A, montana), was 
all the while speaking of Cerastium tomencasum ZL, which appears from the synonyms quoted 
by him. Also Allioni, we find, mistook another species of sand-wort for Arenaria montana ; 
pur perceiving his error, afterwards changed the name into that.of A. capillacea. . 
Aconitum xacinattwe. This species of Woif’s bane, which, in its flower, resembles the
