204 ADDENDA TO THE FLORA OF HARROW. {Jf^lV) 



Veronica Buxbaumii. Two new localities found for this. 

 There was no intention to give this a higher claim to be con- 

 sidered indigenous than is accorded to it in our leading works. 



Myosotis sylvatica. For the present I am willing to consider 

 that this was put down in error. At the same time, I have a 

 strong feeling that I must have seen this plant in 1859, but have 

 not been able, so far, to verify this conviction. 



Atriplex Babingtonii. A confessedly seaside species, yet occa- 

 sionally occurring inland. In 1857, I found it plentifully be- j 

 tween Kensal Green and Kilburn. Last year also I found it in 

 this neighbourhood. 



Atriplex patula, L., has been set down through mistake. 



Fagus sylvatica seems to have some pretensions to be classed 

 as indigenous. 



The Hushes, Pondweeds, and Grasses were justly supposed to be . 

 few in number ; but those only that had been observed could be 

 inserted in the list. Important additions have been made to all 

 these families ; but the number of Pondweeds is still very small. 

 '' A." must have overlooked a statement made in the prefatory 

 remarks to the "List of Harrow Plants,'^ when he says that 

 varieties have been made to "do duty for species.^' It was 

 distinctly stated that the plants enumerated amounted to " three 

 hundred and eighty-five species and varieties.^' There are several 

 varieties mentioned in the " Addenda " without any distinctive 

 mark attached, such not being requisite for the readers for 

 whom the list has been specially prepared, I shall be glad to 

 receive any remarks, either directly or through the pages of the 

 ' Phytologi&t,' in reference to the " Addenda,^^ that may enable 

 me to make the " List of Harrow Plants ^' more perfect. And 

 while I do not strongly object to any friendly critic preserving 

 his incognito, if he desires ; still, if not unpleasant to him, I 

 should much prefer that he throw off his disguise and plainly 

 show his colours. Had the List written last year been intended 

 for the pages of the ' Phytologist,' it should have had my signa- 

 ture affixed, that its readers might be able to attach neither 

 more nor less of authority to its statements than is their just due.
