188 REVIEWS. [June, 



T. saxatile {T. flexuosum, Rclib.)^ flowers about 20th of June. 



T. serotinum, mihi. Another new appellation, or T. majus, 

 Koch, and T. flexuosum of authors ; approaching T. saxatile, but 

 twice the size ; flowers last, viz. on the 15th of July. All of these 

 would probably be in flower a week or ten days later in Britain 

 than in Bavaria. 



Ranunculus auricomus, it appears from this brochure, on the 

 authority of P. Miiller, forms two sub-species. The one blooms 

 some time before the other, and has the petals perfect. 



Isatis tinctoria, the author states, is found in a place where 

 the wood was grubbed up (" in einem abgetriebenen Wald"), with 

 Verbascum Lychnitis. This is an uncertain plant even in the 

 south of Germany. It has been very permanent in England, 

 both in Surrey and Worcestershire, probably for centuries. See 

 ' Phytologist,^ vol. iii. p. 299, etc. 



Our author finds Spergida pentandra, L., in abundance. Bri- 

 tish botanists would gratefully receive a supply of this, to them, 

 doubtful plant. 



Do British botanists recognize two well-defined kinds of Stel- 

 laria media? There are varieties of this species, and Dr. S. as- 

 serts, p. 4, that one of them is well distinguished from ^. media. 

 (See antea.) 



Erodium cicM^armm,onthe same authority, includes two species, 

 which grow in the Palatinate. The one is E. cicutarium, L'Her., 

 and the other, E. jnmpinellcefolitim, Sibth. ; probably both are 

 common in England. Plas^Ir. Babington abandoned the latter 

 variety ? or is he convinced that it has not yet been detected in 

 Great Britain ? 



Centaurea Jacea, Dr. Schultz Avrites, comprehends several spe- 

 cies, of which he intends to publish some details when he has 

 made up his mind ("ich spater zu berichten gedenke^^). 



Euphrasia Odontites, in the Palatinate, comprehends two spe- 

 cies. The one, E. Odontites, flowers in June ; the other, E. se- 

 rotina, Koch, flowers in September, The latter name is changed 

 into E. KocMi, in honour of the distinguished botanist ; a change 

 which some may think uncalled for. 



The additions to the cryptogamous part of the Flora are 

 omitted for want of space.
