60. PLANTAGINACE.E. 311 



Plantago argentea, Lam. (? ) 



Hibernian. Some few years ago I saw a specimen in 

 the hands of Sir William Hooker, which had been sent to 

 him from Ireland by Mr. Andrews, and which apparently 

 corresponded with the continental examples of P. argentea 

 in the herbarium of Sir William.
