Haz. Spain; Lagasca. Montpelier ; Dr Walker Arnott. Scot- 
land; first discovered in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh, 
by D. Steuart, Esq., but since met with by various collectors 
in East Lothian, Perthshire, and Forfarshire. 
We believe that no specimen named by Lagasca exists in 
any herbarium; but as the beautiful character derived from the 
sepals is so distinctly pointed out by that Botanist in the words 
“calycibus cordato-rotundatis corollz tubo latioribus,” we pre- 
sumed that no doubt could exist as to the propriety of referring 
our plant tohis. Mr Babington, however, on the authority of 
our friend Dr Klotzsch of Berlin, says that Lagasca’s is differ- 
ent; but as no proof of this is offered, no notice given of the 
Points in which the two differ, no description made of the 
specimen in the possession of Dr Klotzsch, so that one might 
Judge how far it agrees with Lagasca’s character, nor any 
mention made whence that specimen was obtained, we are still 
disposed to adhere to our former opinion.— Aru.

Fig. A. Flower (magnified) of F. capreolata, y. Anglica, Arn. 
in Third Report, Bot. Soc. Ed. p- 101, 106, or F. capreolata 
of British Botanists, which has been confounded by De Can- 
dolle with his F. media, (a form of F. officinalis), but rather 
resembles F. micrantha in its large calyx, although extremely 
different in other respects.
