than that referred to in the New Botanist's Guide, vol. ii. 

 p. 569, on the question of identity between P. officinalis 

 and P. angustifolia, and stated in Phytologist, vol. iii. p. 

 577, that he had never seen " such exami^les as there 

 would be any difficulty in referring to one or the other." 

 Mr. Babington would seem to have overlooked or disre- 

 garded the opinions and investigations of Mr. Borrer and 

 Dr. Bromfield, and treats both species as genuine natives, 

 in the third edition of his Manual, and repeats that P, 

 angustifolia is " scarcely distinguishable as a species " 

 from P. officinalis.

In the Phytologist, vol. iii. page 703, Mr. Joseph Side- 

 botham records an experimental sowing of the seeds of 

 this species, and those of P. veris and P. vulgaris, with a 

 view to try their distinctness as species. Among the re- 

 sults detailed by him, is the production of one plant of 

 P. elatior (Jacq.) from the seed of P. veris ; also, the pro-
