Of these papers, the second will be considered the most interesting to 

 British botanists ; and thiswesbouldhave entitled somewhat differently, 

 since it is a proposed change in the name of the Anglesea Helianthe- 

 mum guttatum, rather than a description of a new British species. 

 M. Planchon thinks the Cistus guttatus of Hudson a distinct plant 

 from the Helianthemum guttatum of the south of France ; and he 

 proposes to call the former Helianthemum Breweri. He appears to 

 regard the Helianthemum guttatum of English Floras, as composed 

 of two plants. One found in Jersey he believes to be a hispid variety 

 of the true H. guttatum ; the other, first found by Mr. Brewer, and 

 subsequently by other botanists, in Anglesea, he considers distinct, 

 and assigns it the following characters : —

 Tuberai'ia) annuum a basi ramosum subdiiFusum viscidulo-hispidum,
