 certain appearance. 



(Buffonia annua, DC. Ahine polygonoides tenuifolia, flosculis ad longi- 

 tudinem caulis velut in spicam dispositis, Pluk. (E. Syn. ii.). B. 

 tenuifolia, Sm. (M. & G.). Cyb. Br. i. 234. E. B. t. 1313. III. ' On 

 Hounslow Heath;' M8. note hy Boody in his copy of B. Syn. ii. 

 opp. p. 210, ' 7,' and copied by Dillenius in R. Syn. iii. 346. We 

 found it .... on Hounslow Heath, where Mr. Doody observed it ; 

 M. cf G. 199. Mr. Watson suggests that Mocnchia erecta was mis- 

 taken for it. It seems to us more probable that Doody accidentally 

 wrote his note of the locality opposite the wrong species, intend- 

 ing perhaps to refer to 'An. ^' = Spergida. Milne and Gordon 

 may have found a tall-growing plant of JuncKs bufonius. The 

 Eng. Bot. figure was drawn from a garden specimen, and the con- 

 tinental distribution of the species does not favour the probability of 

 its having occurred here.)
