siou of plants, and that Mr. Watson's fluviatile and my fluviatile are one 

 and the same plant, and that we both adopt the Linnean nomenclature ? 

 Tn my former observations I made no allusion to the Equisetum 

 Drummondii of Sir W. J. Hooker, because no specimen of this plant 

 exists in the Linnean herbarium, to which alone my remarks were con- 

 fined : but the same species appears to have been long known as a 

 native of Europe, by the name oi Equisetum umbroswn. The name 

 was for some time MS. only, and is given as Meyer's MS. name. 

 However, in 1809, the species was regularly characterized by Willde- 

 now, in his * Enumeratio,' p. 1065 ; and again by the same author in 

 his ' Species Plantarum' (1810), v. 3 : and it also appears with a mi- 

 nute description in Vaucher's ' Monographic des Preles,' published in 

 the first volume of the ' Memoires de la Societe de Physique &c. de 

 Geneve.' The description is accompanied by very exact figures of 

 the fertile and barren fronds, and of a branched frond surmounted by 

 a catkin, a very common but not constant form of the species.* In 

 all these instances the name of umbrosum is given without any other 

 synonyme, or any implied doubt as to its correctness.
