T11.—Lmrontum voueare Mill.* 
Linnaus (Sp. Pl. edit. - RTE, 274) gave only the following 
short diagnosis of this plant :-—* S. Limo nium. Statice caule nu 
fact, the specimen in Linn us’s herbarium labelled, ‘2. Limonium” 
in his own handwriting, is cg dndoubtedty the latter species. 
Miller, in his Gardeners eicsenary (Ae i. n. 1, 1768), gave 
the. following description of Limon vulgare :—* Foliis ovato- 
spear-shaped leaves and a taper paniculated stalk. Limonium 
maritimum majus. ©. B. P. 192. Common great Sea Lavender ”’ ; 
and stated that . ss in several parts of England in marshes 
** flowed Me the sea.” A specimen named by Miller is in Herb. 
called the plant under discussion S. Behen and the other S. rariflora: 
the latter he considered only differed from the Bahusiensis of Fries 
in its small size. I may mention here that Drejer quoted as syno- 
s Miller's names as adopted in this paper. 
Fries later (Summ. Veg, Scan. i. 1846, 200) recognized the two 
as species ; he allowell Drejer’s name, S. Behen, to stand in place
