the former were Tofieldia palustris, Paniassia palustris, Primula 

 farinosa, Pinguicula vulgaris, Sanguisorba officinalis, Geum rivals ; 

 among the latter, Cirsium oleraceum, Centaurea Jacea, Dianthus 

 superbus, Schcenus ferruginous, Gentiana utriculosa, Carduus deflo- 

 ratns, Polygala amara. 



I only slept one night at Augsburg, and set off the following evening 

 for Stuttgard, where we arrived before twelve o'clock. I called on 

 Mr. Lechler, and we set off for a walk, but the rain drove us back 

 again. The next morning, however, we had a very interesting one ; 

 the slopes immediately about Stuttgard are covered with vines, a 

 novel sight for one coming from Bavaria, but beyond these, there is a 

 good deal of forest, where Peucedanum officinale and Cervaria are 

 very abundant ; we also gathered Selinum Caruifolium, Laserpitium 

 prutenicum. Campanula Cervicaria, Aster Amellus, and Geranium 

 palustre. Cytisus nigricans grow also here, and I apprehend this is 

 nearly its most western station. Sempervivum tectorum grows on the 

 walls of the vineyards, not perhaps indigenous, but perfectly natu- 

 ralized, which it is not in England. Sedum fabaria is abundant, 

 but I am not much inclined to admit its separation from S. Telephium, 

 called by Koch S. purpurascens. Vicia pisiformis we looked for in 

 vain, being apparently too late even for the seeds. 



On the 25th I proceeded to Carlsruhe, where I found a very com- 

 fortable and reasonable hotel in the Darmstadterhof. Professor Doll 

 conducted me to the Galinsogea parviflora and Hieracium Isevigatum, 

 but it was too late in the season to procure good specimens of the 

 latter, and T could not observe the character insisted on by Koch, of 

 the sort of crown formed by the outer scales of the calyx, when in the 

 bud. In the afternoon we went to Durlach, where we got Polycne- 

 mum majus and Euphrasia lutea. On the 27th I went to Baden, and 

 on the 28th, to Eslingen, where I got good specimens of Lolium 

 italicum : this Lolium is clearly distinguished from L. perenne, by 

 the young leaves, which are rolled up in the former, and folded flat in 

 the common species. The plant is somewhat more slender, and of a 

 different shade of colour, and the spicules rather more lax, so that the 

 eye soon catches a difference in the general appearance. I afterwards 

 went to Heidelberg, and stopped there at the Restauratiom, close by 

 the railway, thinking it more convenient, as I wished to go off again 

 early in the morning, and found myself very well pleased with my 

 accommodations. I called on Professor Bischoff, and afterwards took 

 a walk on the banks of the Neckar, but I found nothing. 



The next morning I returned by the railroad to St. Ilgen, the first
