pubigerus, R. hirtifolius (Mill.), R. Kehleri 6. cavatefolius (Mill.), 
R. mutabilis (Geney.), and R. foliosus 3. adornatus (Miull.) appear 
for the first time, R. mutabilis and R. hirtifolus being due to Mr. 
T. A. Briggs’s ‘ Flora of Plymouth.’ 
Rosa bibracteata (Bast.) replaces R. stylosa of the last edition. 
Whatever they may be as living trees, it is very doubtful whether 
Dr. Boswell-Syme’s four species of Pyrus can, in the herbarium, 
be looked upon as any thing but variations of P. Aria. 
The appearance of a second species of the American genus Clay- 
tonia, C. alsinoides, as naturalized with us, is one more of the few 
instances of eastern, as opposed to the abundant western, migration 
of weeds, which suggest some important problems (vide Claypole, 
Pharmaceut. Journ. 1879). 
Do Saxifraga granulata and S. tridactylites frequent sloping 
ground to such an extent as to call for the word “ banks” in the 
habitat? and, considering its occurrence in Somerset, Hants, and 
Hertfordshire, is it explicit to speak of Parnassca as occurring “ to- 
wards the north”? ; 
The variety of Apium nodiflorum with roundish ovate leaflets 
and very short peduncles (H. B. 1431) now appears as ocreatum ; 
and that of Artemisia vulgaris with dense racemes as (. A. coarc- 
tata (Forcell.). 
Senecio spathulifolius (DC.) is an addition, the Holyhead plant 
haying before been grouped under S. campestris. Crepis hieraciordes 
(W. & K.) replaces C. succisefolia ; and Hieracium pratense (Fr.) re- 
places H. dubsum, L. (Fr. of the last edition), and H. colinum. 4H. 
Dewari (Sy.) is new, as also is Campanula rotundifolia, var. y. arc- 
tica (Lange), described by Mr. A. G. More under the varietal name 
speciosa, from Inish Boffin, in the ‘Journal of Botany’ for 1876 
(p. 373). 
Is there not a specimen of Fraainus heterophyllus (Vahl) in 
Christ-Church meadows, Oxford, represented by specimens from 
Professor Dyer in the British Museum, in which all the leaves are 
simple? They are here described as ‘simple and pinnate,” and 
an initial H. has dropped in by mistake. 
Two important additions, due to Mr. Townsend, appear under the 
genus Hrythrea, viz.:—E. tenuiflora (Link), recorded in the ‘ Journal 
of Botany’ for 1879 (p. 829), which Professor Babington ranks as a 
variety of H. pulchella, whilst Mr. Townsend suggested it might be 
a hybrid of that species with EL. Centaurium ; and EL. capitata (W.), 
var. spherocephala, Townsend, in the case of which the author has 
disregarded the discoverer’s varietal name, besides omitting his 
Newhaven locality, thus treating it as Willdenow’s type, which it is 
not. 
The genus Huphrasia so well displays the author’s judicious 
- spirit of revision that we cannot refrain from quoting his account 
of the varieties in eatenso.
