 the plants which he had noticed in the district named, among which 

 were many rare and some interesting Alpine species. Among the 

 latter several were considered as dubious, and Sir William Jardine 

 was requested to communicate with Mr. Wells, and endeavour to 

 procure specimens from the localities mentioned, in order to authen-
