Besides many other plants interesting to a western botanist. 



1 did not botanize on the north of the Danube. On the south we 

 may consider the neighbourhood of Vienna, as to its Botany, under 

 four heads. The first comprises the corn-fields and way-sides ; the 

 glacis ; the Tiirken Schanze, and some other little bits of uncultivated 

 land separated from the river; and within a mile or two of the 

 suburbs. Here, besides the plants already enumerated on the Tiirken 

 Schanze, and many of those on the Brigettenau, grow —

 Parietaria erecta 

 Gagea arvensis 

 Euphorbia diffusa

 Bromus commutatus 

 Lolium italicum 



Parietaria erecta is the only species noted as growing about 

 Vienna. The Lolium italicum is the L. Boucheanum of the first 

 edition of Koch's ' Synopsis,' and is beautifully distinguished from 

 L. perenne, by the estivation of the leaves in the barren shoots. 

 These are simply folded in the latter species, and rolled in, in the 

 former. The number of the flowers, though generally forming a dis- 

 tinctive mark, is not quite constant, but the spike seems to be always 

 more lax, and the spiculas more spreading. 



The second chapter of Vienna Botany, is that of the shores and 

 islands of the Danube, including the Prater and the Brigittenau.
