prolonged ray journey as far as Vienna, had established himself for 

 the present at a village about ten miles distant. Thither I proceeded. 

 The place, Kaltenleutgeben, is seated in a small valley among lime- 

 stone hills, a very pleasant place, and abounding in good plants. I 

 took the rail-road to a village called Leising, and there hired a sort of 

 cart, made of basket work, with a seat upon springs. On the way we 

 found Lepidium Draba, Astragalus onobrychioides, and A. cicer. 

 Lathyrus tuberosus, Dipsacus laciniatus, not in flower ; Salvia syl- 

 vestris, Verbascum phlomoides, Linaria genistifolia. And in my walks 

 about the place, I added: — 



iEtliionema saxatilis 



Poly gala major 



P. Chamaebuxus, in 



fruit 

 Gypsophila saxifraga 

 Coronilla Emerus, and C. 



montana, both in fruit 

 Dorycniura fruticosum 

 Orobus niger, and O. ver- 



nus, botb out of flower 

 Vicia cassubica 

 Potentilla recta 

 P. inclinata ? 



Knautia sylvatica 

 Leontodon incanura 

 Anthemis austriaca 

 Cirsium pannonicum 

 Nonea pulla 

 Stachys alpina 

 Melampymm nemorosum 

 Orobanche cruenta 

 Teucrium montanum 

 Asamra europEeum, quite 



over 

 Cyclamen europseum 

 Lysimachia punctata 



Verbascum orientals 



Epipactis raicrophylla 



Cypripedium Calceolus, out 

 of flower 



Lilium Martagon 



Veratrum album and V. ni- 

 grum, not yet in flower. 

 And afterwards, on a 

 second visit 



Seseli Hippomarathrum 



Inula ensifolia 



Globularia cordifolia and 



Sideritis montana 



I went twice from Vienna to a place called the Brigittenau, forming 

 part of one of the islands of the Danube. The place is of little interest 

 in itself, but is said to be the station of some rare plants. I was not 

 successful, and found nothing but what is common about Vienna, 

 except Veronica austriaca, in seed. Podospermum Jacquinii is abun- 

 dant, and so is Atriplex nitens, but not yet in flower, and an Atriplex 

 is of little value without the seed. Viola elatior, Potentilla opaca, 

 Corisperraum nitidum. Euphorbia palustris, Naias minor, Cyperus 

 flavescens, Poa fertilis, are among the plants enumerated. A more 

 interesting place is the Turken Schanze, where the Turks are said to 

 have pitched their camp, in the memorable siege of Vienna, in 1688. 

 One does not see why they should have tossed the ground about in 

 such an irregular manner. We enjoy from this place a very fine view 

 of Vienna. The soil is sandy. I found here, Hieracium echioides, 

 Linaria genistifolia, Stipa pennata, Scabiosa suaveolens. Campanula 

 sibirica (out of flower), Euphrasia lutea (not yet in flower). This 

 forms a very small portion of the riches of this locality.
