A beautiful plant, easily known by its dense spikes and the long 

 points of its bracteas and calyces. 



8. O. Jeucrii. Fontainebleau, on Teucrium montanum and Cha- 



maedrys. Snuff-coloured, nearly veinless. The insertion of the 

 stamens is higher than in O. epithymum, and the lips of the co- 

 rolla are more separate. The botanists of Paris seem disposed 

 to unite these species. 



9. O. concolor. Fontainebleau. Corolla and stigmas yellow. I 

 saw only two specimens, and could not ascertain to what plant 

 they were attached. They agreed perfectly with Boreau's de- 

 scription, — 'Flore du Centre de la France,' p. 344. 



1. Orobanche major. 2. O. cruenta, 3, 0. caryophyllea. 4. 0. caryophyllea? 5. 0. epithymum 

 6. 0. minor. 7. O. amethystea. 8. O. Teucrii. 9. O. concolor. 



From this plain I again ascended a hill on the right of the road to 

 Reclose, where I found abundance of Coronilla coronata and Linura 

 tenuifolium : and passing that road and the hollow in which it runs, 

 ascended the Rocher des Putaines, now more delicately called the 

 Mocker des Demoiselles, on the top of which again are some mares, 

 which were not productive. Among these rocks, and in other similar 

 places, I noticed Pyrus Aria, but did not fall in with any trees of P. 

 latifolia, which is said to occur in the forest, but which, however, from 

 specimens in the French herbarium of the Jardin des Plantes, appears 

 to be the same as P. hybrida of the ' Flora Britannica,' 534. 



On the 21st I set out on the road to Melun, and turning to the right 

 examined a detached ridge, which, as usual where there are no mares
