220 CORRESPONDENCE OF RAY. 



montan. capillac. folio C. B. P. [Mcekringia muscosa, 

 Linn.], which indeed is a foreigner to us, but has a leaf 

 as fine as a hair, and four white leaves to the flower, as 

 the name imports, and is a pretty upright plant, of about 

 a small span in stature, and not much unlike the Alsin. 

 tenuif. muscosa ejusd. C. Bauh. [M. muscosa /3, Linn.] 



The Auricula muris pulcJiro Jlore, J. B. \_Cerastium 

 arvense, Linn.], omitted in the Synopsis, but inserted 

 among the Supplenda, might perhaps have been supplied 

 by the the Alsine myosotis lanuginosa alpina grandiflora 

 S. Auricula muris vittosa Jlore amplo membranaceo, D. 

 Lhwyd \C. latifolium, Linn.], as being the same, or a 

 variety of it. 



Page 150. As for the Sedum parvum acre fore luteo 

 [Sedum acre, Linn.], it is multisiliquous, or multicornous 

 in its capsule, divided into five points, and when ripe 

 makes a pretty resemblance of a star; and therefore, 

 in my opinion, ought not to be disjoined from the 

 Sedums, properly so called. Under this banner does the 

 Sedum minimum acre march, and, if I mistake not, the 

 Minus teretifol. album [Sedum album, Linn.] ; but I have 

 not yet thoroughly examined it, and therefore am not 

 positive therein ; nor can I say, without a peradventure, 

 the like of the Alpinum ericoides cceruleum, G. B. P. 

 \Saxifraga oppositifolia, Linn.]. Indeed your Sedum 

 min. Alpinum luteum nostras \Saxifraga aizoides, Linn.] 

 is, to the best of my memory, only bicornous, and is 

 rightly disposed with the Sedum Alp. trifid. folio, C. B. P. 

 \Saxifraga hypnoides, Linn.], which, in my Catalogue, 

 goes under the name of Sanicula aizoides tridactylites ; 

 and for the better distinguishing it from the Sedums, I 

 have made bold (and I hope not without your good leave) 

 to alter your name, and prefix another to that elegant 

 plant of your own happy discovery, which, with all its 

 synonyma, I must submit to your approbation, viz. 

 Sanicula aizoid. Alp.Jl. majuscul. lut. punctis croceis gut- 

 tato. Sedum minus Alpinum luteum nostras, D. Raii. 

 Sedum parvum montanum lut. J. B. Sedum Alpinum
