Of these fifty-two genera, twenty -nine are printed in italics, from

 loAved by a ? denote their having been recorded as found in Hants, 

 but are either now extinct, or rest on authority too ancient, or ques- 

 tionable and unconfinned. Sesleria is here introduced because, 

 though hitherto supposed to be confined to limestone districts in the 

 north of England, it is known to occur on dry chalk banks at Rouen, 

 and may possibly be found with us in a similar situation, when the 

 fact is kept in remembrance by collectors, who might otherwise over- 

 look what they had no reason to expect falling in with; a common 

 cause why even conspicuous plants often remain so long undetected. 

 This very trutli must plead an excuse for troubling the readers of the 

 ' Phytologist ' with observations so purely negative as the present ; the 

 end I have in view will be better attained by engaging their attention 

 to the discovery of our botanical desiderata, than in diverting it from 

 the search by presenting them with a more palatable catalogue of as- 

 certained county plants to pick and choose from, to fill vacant 

 shelves in their herbariums. The adage, " out of sight out of mind," 

 would, I fear, be exemplified by the continuance in obscmity and 

 concealment of most of my desiderated species, were I not to bring
