This gi-eat difference renders it probable that many of the species 

 may be common to both, though not yet detected. I have not ap- 

 pended the lists, as that would take up too much of your space : 

 should you think them of any value, I could forward them another 

 time. 



W. L. NOTCUTT. 



[I MAY perhaps be allowed to add a note to Mr. Notcutt's observa- 

 tion on Centaurea nigra. In Herefordshire the radiate variety of this 

 plant is very abundant, much more so than the normal form. The 

 radiate form has a greater partiality for hedge-banks and ditches 

 than the normal form, which prefers pastures ; but occasionally they 

 occur in the same field, growing side by side. Under all circum- 

 stances, the difference seems marked and decided, and I have often 

 been inclined to ask with Mr. Notcutt, " is this only a variety ?" I 

 need not inform so able a botanist as Mr. Notcutt, that the radiate 

 plant is usually considered a species on the continent, whence it 

 comes labelled as C. nigrescens of Willdenow, whose description is 

 very clear and intelligible. Our English authors unite these two 

 plants without expressing even a doubt, a circumstance rather to be 

 admired in Mr. Babington, whose aversion to the multiplication of 

 species is not often exhibited. — E. Neivman.~\
