BOTANICAL OBSERVATIONS. tJT, 



related, but far from being one and the same species. 

 Such species as Bromus polymorphus of Scopoli 

 are what other botanists call " divisions." 



The same may be said of A vena pilosa Scopoli 

 Cam. ed. 2. n. 124. 



Avena Lceflingia Gort. sept. n. no. is Avena 

 praecox Linn. 



Elymus caput Medusa? and Hordeum jubatum, 

 in my opinion, belong to one and the same genus. 



The synonym of Bauhin and Morison 

 which Linn^els and other editors of the species 

 plantarum have given to Hordeum vulgare, ought 

 to be Hordeum poly sty chum hibernum. 



TKe second synonym of Hordeum spica subdisticha 

 calyce folioso setaceo, Jloribus omnibus hennophroditis, 

 longe aristatis Hall hist. n. 1533. is not right, but 

 ought to be as follows : Hordeum polysticbum hyber- 

 num 'Bauh. theatt^. p. 438. Moris, hist. V. 3. 

 p. 206. S. 8. tab. 6. fig. 3. 



Hordeum polystachyum hibernum Bauh. theatr. 

 p. 439. which, by Reichard and Houttuyn, in 

 their Syst. plantarum, is taken up for a synonym 

 of Hordeum hexastichum, ought to be erased.
