flowers said to be precisely as described and figured in Q. acutifolia 

 Kees, p. 904. fig. 1690. ; and, consequently, the name Skinneri may be 

 considered as a synonyme to Q. acutifolia. 



i (^. pt/rendica, p. 853. Add, either as an allied Species or as a Variety : 

 " Q. pauiionica Booth. Hungary. Introduced to the H. S. Garden from

'i Pla^TANUS [ocddentdlis] hetcroph^l/a Lindl. This American plane has hitherto 

 been confounded in some collections with the Oriental species, Platanus 

 acerifolia. It has the same kind of fruit as P. occidentalis, while P. 

 rtcerifoiia has fruit like that of P. orientalis. P. [o.] heterophylla is 

 frequently imported from the southern states of America under the 

 name of P. occidentalis, from which it is very distinct in foliage and 

 stature ; and it is also much tenderer. The young shoots frequently 

 suffer during winter, and particularly if the plant is in a damp situation. 



Coni'fer^. Page 946. 



t V/xus (Laricio) austnaca Hdss, p. 958., is treated as a sub-species, for 

 the sake of keeping it distinct, though we had given above Delamarre's 

 arrangement, who considers it a variety of P. Laricio, which is also our 

 opinion. 



t P. Chilghoza, which is given p. 998., with a ?, as a synonyme to P. 

 Gerdvdidna, Mr. Gordon says is different from P. GerardzV^za, but nearly 

 related to P. longifolia, p. 996. 



? P, sinensis, p. 999. Add as Synonymes : " P. nepalensis Pin. JVob." and 

 " P. Cavendishiawa Hort." 

 Add after Phms oocdrpa, p. 1012.: 



T P. o'dcarpoides Lindl. A pine from Guatemala, with very long slender 

 leaves, five in a sheath, and cones about half the size of those of P. 

 oocarpa, of which it is probably a variety. 



t P. Ayacahuite, p. 1023. Mr. Gordon says there are two distinct pines 

 under this name : the oneEhrenberg's, described in the text; and another, 

 sent home by Hartweg, the cones of which are about half the size of 

 Ehrenberg's plant, and the buds much smaller. Probably a variety. 



t Kbies Douglusu, p. 1033. INIi". Gordon says he has cones under this 

 name of three distinct varieties or species; FJartweg's are the largest, 

 and Ehrenberg's the smallest. Probably, Hartweg's may be that doubt- 

 ful species A. hirt^lla H. et K. : see p. 1036. and p. 1050. 



t Thu'JA pendula,p. 1071. Omit the Synonyme "? Juniperus flagelliformis 

 Hort."

 insert as Synonymes, " C. nepalensis Hort.," and " Juniperus nepalensis 

 Hort."

 C. thurifera, in the same page. 



TaxO^DIUM distichum, p. 1078. Add to the Varieties :

possibly si)ecies, which has been found quite hardy in the H. S. 



Garden. 



JUNl'PEnuS gossainthdnea Hort., and J. Bedfordiana Hort., are names 

 applied to the same species, which resembles a red cedar, but is rather 

 more slender in habit.
