M. parviflora, L. Herb.? V. Waste ground by the canal, Appertoii. 

 This seems different from M. parviflora of Hudson — M. fusilla of 

 E. B. 241, reproduced in Syme E. B. ii. t. 283 as M. borealis, Wallm. ; 

 it also differs from the figure in Jacq. Vindob. 39. Smith does not 

 • allude to the fruit characters in the description of his M. pusilla ; 

 nor are the remarkable carpels figured in his plate ; there is no 

 specimen in his herbarium. The fruit added in Syme's plate is quite 

 that of our plant. The same species occurs at Mitcham (v. Seem. J. of 

 Bot. iv. 149), where it was introduced with foreign corn; it is a 

 tall, upright plant, thus differing from M. parviflora of the Linn. 

 Herb. 



? M. crispa, L. Site of Exhibition of 1862. A doubtful species, not 

 uncommon in gardens.
