EKMAX, NOMENCLATURE OF SOME NORTH-EUROPEAN DRAB^. 9 



WiLLD. (in Flora Lapponica ed. 1 p. 174) under which name 

 the latter had included both D. jladnizensis Wulf, and 

 Draha ciliaris Host (= D. ciliata Scopoli) non L. Sp. plant, 

 ed. IV WiLLDENOW t. 3 (1800) p. 428; cfr. Hoppe, Botanische 

 Zeitung 6 (1823) p. 445. In Flora Svecica ed. 1 (1824) p. 

 400 Wahlenberg gives another name to the same plant 

 viz. Draha lapponica and extends at the same time 

 the term so as also to include a form with stellulate hairs 

 on the surface of the leaves. C. J. Hartman gives it the 

 name of Draha WaJdenbergii Hn. in the first ed. (1820) of 

 Skandinaviens Flora p. 249, and the species is subsequently 

 divided by Lindblom into the forms homotricha and hetero- 

 tricha (in Linnsea 1839 p. 324) which names are adopted by 

 Hartman 1849 in the 5th ed. of the same work. 



The former form only corresponds with Draha fladni- 

 zensis Wur.F, the latter with D. laj)ponica Wg. I shall now 

 endeavour briefly to prove my case. — I was for a long 

 time doubtful whether the D. fladnizensis of v. Wulfen 

 w^as identical with D. Wahlenhergii Hn. /. homotricha Lindbl. 

 on account of the character of 2 or 3 leaves on the stem which 

 he assigns to the plant (in Plantae rariores Carinthiacse in 

 Jacquins Miscellanea Austriaca p. 147 — 148 Tab. 17 f. 1) as the 

 Northern Draha Wahlenhergii has generally only one leaf on 

 the stem, sometines none. But having seen some specimens 

 af Draha fladnizensis in the collection of E. J. Smith in 

 the Linnean Society (gatherad in 1816 by D. Sieber, from 

 the classical locality near Fladnitz in Steiermark) which 

 quite agreed with our above mentioned form, my doubts were 

 dispelled. Nor have I in collections found any other form 

 of Draha which would better fit in with the description (1. c.) 

 than this plant. — It seems evident to me that the pubes- 

 cence of D. Wahlenhergii Hn. /. heterotricha Lindbl. does 

 not correspond with that of D. fladnizensis both from the 

 description and the reproduction 1. 1. c. c. where no stellu- 

 late hairs occur. One might, however, consider it to be a 

 Northern form of D. fladnizensis morphologically so nearly 

 allied to it, that it must be referred to this species. I con- 

 sider it more correct to call it an intermediate form between 

 D. fladnizensis and D. rupestris. For most specimens, which 

 have been called D. fladnizensis /. lapponica, or D. Wahlen- 

 hergii /. heterotricha, display such an irregularity, especially
