wise, in part or in whole, the species distributed by Pro- 

 fessor Graham, in 1833, as H. umbellatum from Suther- 

 land. H. coiymbosum may be considered another species 

 added to those treated in the second volume ; the H. 

 deuticulatum of that volume, with which it most nearly 

 corresponds, being excluded as a confused aggregate of 

 this present and other species.

Incognit ? It may be better to expmige the sketch of 

 distribution given for this plant in the second volume, 

 which was certainly founded on misapplications of the 

 name, as there suggested. In the tliird edition of the 

 Manual Mr. Babington rejects the species, stating that 

 " H. deuticulatum (Sm., E. B. 2122) is now considered as 

 a wood form of H. prenanthoides." By whom so consi- 

 dered ? Mr. Borrer gave me a living plant from his 

 garden, under name of H. deuticulatum, which certainly 

 appears to me, after observing it for three seasons, to be 

 quite distinct from H. prenanthoides of English botanists ; 

 but of which I have never seen a wild specimen among 

 the various tilings sent to me from Scotland, labelled 

 under the same name. Of tliis plant or species Mr. 

 Borrer writes, in 1849, " I have long known this in culti- 

 vation in Mr. Forster's garden and my own, originally 

 (like Smith's specimens) from Scotch specimens from 

 Dickson, and I have once gathered it wild in Glen Luss, 

 Dumbartonshire." Here is decided and clear testimony 

 to the fact of there being a native species to correspond 

 with Smith's idea of H. deuticulatum, in addition to H. 

 prenanthoides. But the localities recorded in books or
