notes, however, are neither those of Bierberstein’s nor of Thuillier’s 
species, but of a much broader-leaved plant than the latter, with 
broader fruit, and much more hairy styles. From his mention of 
its similarity to R. micrantha and to #. Borreri, I think he must 
have had in his mind the plant called BR. inodora Borr. (non 
Fries), which is quite distinct from . sepium, though the true 
hi. longs to the group of R. agrestis. The 
synonymy of R. Klukii Bess., quoted ne Mr. Baker, adds to the 
confusion, as that is an oo form. Mr. Baker’s specimens of 
epium seem to be correctly labeled, but t they do not at all 
agree with his description. The concluding sentence of his notes 
“Ri. pulverulenta” (p. 224 op. cit.) seems feo explain the 
eh and the whole of the part must be taken to 
apply to R. inodora Borr., which I think is mos re with
