I/O POLY AND. PENTAG. 



add that the plant is smaller IB all its parts than the preceding, the 

 Jlower not measuring an inch across when fully expanded. The 

 petioles are two-edged in both species, and I fear but little reliance 

 can be placed on the approximation of the lobes of the leaves. The 

 flower represented in Bot. Mag. is smaller than in my American 

 and my Scotch specimens, and the leaves rounder. 



7. TILIA. 



1. T. curopcea (Lime or Linden- tree}, Rowers destitute of nec- 

 tary, leaves cordate acuminate serrated, pericarp ribbed woody. 

 Lightf.p.2SO, E. B. /.610. 



HAB. In walks and avenues, as at Inverary, &c. ; but probably nol 

 indigenous, Light/. Fl. July. Jj . 



A large and handsome tree. Flowers small, greenish, fragrant, on 

 a stalked cyme, springing from the centre of a large, lanceolate, 

 foliaceous bractea, which falls off with the fructified cymes. Cal. 

 leaves and petals ovata-lanceolate. Fruit generally ] -celled and 

 1 -seeded. Pericarp very thick, woody, in which respect it differs 

 principally from the parvifolia of Ehrh. and Sin.,, the microphylla 

 of Vent, a'nd Decand. 



8. CISTUS. 



1. C. Helianihemwn (common Dwarf Cist us), somewhat 

 shrubby 'procumbent, leaves elliptical oblong somewhat hairy 

 mostly white and pubescent beneath the margin slightly re-vo- 

 lute, "stipules lanceolate. Lighff. p. 280. E. B. t' 1321, 

 and t, 2208 (C. tomentosus}. j 



HAB. Dry pastures, but not very common ; King's park. Edinb'., and 

 Island "of Lismore, Light/. Banks of the Mouse, at Cartlane 

 crags ; and pastures about Airdrie, Hopk. Frequent on Canipsie 

 and Cathkin hills; also on the banks of the Allan, near the bridge, 

 and Moncrieff hill, Mr. Murray. Gravelly hills, Angus-shire., 

 G. Don (under the name of C. tomentosus.} Fl. Jury, Aug. Fj . 



Flowers yellow, showy, in loose terminal racemes. Pubescence branch- 

 ed or starry. Very variable in hairiness, and in the width and re- 

 volution of the margin of the leaves. I can find no character to 

 distinguish the C. tomentosus of E. B. either as a species or well 

 marked variety. 



2. PENTAGYNIA, 



a. AQUILEGIA. 



I. A. vulgar is (common Columbine), spur of the petals incurved, 

 capsules hairy, stem leafy many-flowered, leaves nearly gla- 

 brous, styles as long as thestam. Light/, t. 284. E. B.i. 297. 



HAB. Woods, not unfrequent, as. in Collington woods-, near Edinb., 

 Dr. Parsons. Banks of the Clyde at Blantyre Priory, and at the 

 falls 3 bottom of Cartlane crags and wood above Castlemilk, Glasg., 

 Hopk. Daldowie, near Glasg., Dr. Brown. Bank below Stirling 

 Castle, Maugh. Fl. June. H .
