to be correct ; but have seen the plant myself in Surrey- 

 only. There is one other on record, which I must dis- 

 trust at present. In the Supplement to English Botany, 

 2910, we are told by the Eev. W. H. Coleman, that Mr. 

 C. C. Babington possesses specimens gathered at Congle- 

 ton by Mr. E.G. Wilson. Now, the late Mr. E.G. WUson, 

 resident in or near Gongleton, and Mr. Joseph Sidebotham, 

 of Manchester, appear to have had a botanical intimacy 

 (see Phytol. iii. 70) ; and the said Mr. Joseph Sidebo- 

 tham sent specimens of G. axillaris to the Botanical Soci- 

 ety of London, gathered " near Gongleton," and labelled 

 " Garex Boenninghausiana." I possess a specimen of C. 

 paniculata, gathered in Surrey, curiously like the G. Boen- 

 ninghauseniana ; the panicle being reduced to a si)ike of 

 distant, sessile spikelets ; the lowest about three inches 

 below the one next above it. If I had not taken this spe- 

 cimen from a great tuft producing on other stems the 

 panicled spikes of G. paniculata, I could scarcely have 

 believed it the latter, so much more does it appear like G. 

 Boenninghauseniana.
