48 Mr Arthur Bennett on [sess. li. 



He does not accept E. rosmarinifolmm, Haenke (or as 

 he names it, E. Dodonaei, Vill.), as a Scotch plant. 



2. E. hirsiitum, L. 



Under this he has a large number of varieties and forms, 

 but none named as from Britain. He quotes E. ramosum 

 (Hudson, F. Avgl, i. p. 162, 1762), for this plant. 



Since then Mr Towndrow, of Malvern, has gathered the 

 var. y villosum, Koch, in Worcestershire. 



3. E. parvijlorum, L. 



Under this he has E. parvifiorum x roseum = E. persi- 

 cinum, Echb. Derbyshire (Herb. Hooker). 



4. E. montanum, L. 



Form f. latifolhim. England. 



„ i. verticillatum. Derbyshire (Babington). 

 {E. collinum, Gmel. In insul. Brit, ut videtur o.) 

 This, from its distribution in Europe, ought to occur in 



Britain. Resembles montan'um, but is a smaller plant, with 



petioled leaves. 



5. E. lanceolatum, Seb. et Maur. 



{E. lanceolatum x montanum, E. neogradiense, Borbas. 

 llecorded from Germany. An hybrid like this occurred in my 

 garden, where lanceolatum — oiiginally from Surrey locality — 

 comes up by hundreds every year, and montanum sparingly). 



E. lanceolatum x ohscurum = E. Lamottcanwn, Haussk. 

 Knmple Quarry, Plymouth. A. Briggs {Herb. Mus. Brit.). 



E. lanceolatu7n X j^at'vijlormyi = E. Aschersonianum, Haussk. 

 Plymouth. A. Briggs, 1867 (He?-!). Mus. Brit). 



6. E. tetragonum, L. {E. aclnatum, Griseb. of Haussknecht). 

 Form c. Htcnopliylla, Sussex (Trimen); London (Dyer). 



I have not seen Scotch specimens of true tetragonum, but 

 it is reportcjd from Edinburgh and I'erth; and Professor 

 l>;tbinglori gives it from Scotland in the eighth edition of 

 liis Manual. 



In 1880 I gathered a curious form of this, on which 

 Professor Haussknecht remarks, in a letter to my friend Mr 

 G. Nicholson of Kew : — 



"A very interesting form, whicli I had not before seen; 

 it is very near tetragonum =^adnatum, l)ut with larger flowers 

 and subpetiolate leaves I beg you to dry a series of this
