But the most cogent proof of the unimportance of this 

 imperfect publication is the treatment Linnseus himself 

 accords to it. He never cites it in the second edition of the 

 " Species Plantarum," nor, indeed, refers to it. Even of the 

 new British species described in the " Centuria " of 1755 and 

 in the " Am.oenitates " of 1759, namely, Veronica viontana. 

 Hypericum Elodes, Trifoliuin medium, T. squamosum, and 

 Vicia angustifolia, only the two former are given in the 

 " Sp. PL " of 1762, and only the Hypericum has the habitat, 

 " in Anglia," added. Moreover, plants which he wrongly 

 gives in the "Flora Anglica," such as Scilla bifoLia, Antiieri- 

 cum calyculatum, Juncus stygius, Polygonum pennsylvanicuj/i, 

 Mcehringia nmscosa, Centaurea Jacea, Filago pyramidata, 

 Arenaria saxatilis, Cerastium tomentosum, Euphorbia verru- 

 cosa, E. segetalis, Thlaspi montanuin, CocJilearia groenlandica, 

 Brassica Erucastrum, Lathyrus angulatus, Vicia dumetorum, 

 among others, have in no case the habitat Anglia given for 

 them. Beyond this, certain names which are used in the 

 " Flora Anglica" — for example, Senecio montatta, Antirrhinum 

 hybridum, Thlaspi Jiirsutum {T. hirtum is cited), Salsola 

 sedoides, Fesiuca marina — are not included in the " Sp. PI." of 

 1762, either as species or in synonymy, nor do the\' appear in 

 the " Index Kewensis."' 



Just a brief reference to the connection between the 

 " Flora Anglica " of Linnaeus and Hudson. Although it 

 is quite true that there is no definite reference in Hudson's 

 "Flora Anglica" of 1762 to the first edition of Linnxus' 

 work of the same name, yet there are a few citations 

 from the " Centuria " and from the " Amoenitates " which 

 prove Hudson had consulted those works. We also find 

 that Hudson has adopted a very large percentage of the 

 erroneous names used by Linnaeus, as will be seen b\- the 



VOL. I. 12 '
