/^^///,\^^2^ Alchemilla conjuncta, Bah. 



Area [12 * * 15]. 



Incognit? Said to have been collected by Mr. J. E. 

 Bowman, in Gatesgarth Dale or Pass, in Cumberland ; as 

 also by Mr. G. Don, on the Clova Mountains. Mr. Don's 

 specimens are still in herbaria; but I suspect some mis- 

 take, the specimens appearing so like those from gardens. 

 And the late Mr. Bowman expressly stated, that the plant 

 brought by himself, from Gatesgarth Dale, was A. alpina, 

 which remained unchanged in his garden. Sir Walter 

 Trevelyan brought specimens from Faroe. Mr. Twining 

 collected others in S\vitzerland. Specimens from Gouan 

 are in Sir William Hooker's herbarium, supposed to have 

 been collected on the Pyrenees. Probably Don's name of 

 Alchemilla argentea should justly be preferred before the 

 newer name given to the species by Mr. Babington ; but 

 the latter is free from all ambiguity or misapplication, and 

 therefore retained here.
