 VII. [Marylebone Fields, 1815; Herb. G. ^ i?.] Mr. Varenne, who has 

 the original specimen, believes it to be silaifolia. 

 First record : Goodger and Eozea, 1815. We have seen no specimens. 

 It is possible that Gerarde and Blackstone may have intended this 

 species by the name Filipendula aquatica, quoted under (E. fisUdosa. 

 Indeed, the imperfect specimen in Herb. Budd. bearing Gerarde's name, 

 looks more like silaifolia than any other species ; but the two plants 

 were confounded by the early botanists, and are even now sometimes 

 mistaken for each other.
