286. Radiola linioides Roth. Tent. i. 71 (1788). Both generic

290. Mr. Druce points out that the varietal a crepitans is

months Burman’s publication in his pe de Geraniis 
15. Euonymus europaeus L. . Druce contends that our 
of the Linnean species after Scopoli’s E. a had been

this can be sanctioned; Linneus’s species as pea by him 
arent of the commonly distributed form, which he further 
name alone. 
The genus Genista as defined by Bentham and Hooker 
includes Sarothamnus Wimm 
Trigonella purpurascens Lam. FI. Fr. ii. 590, is misspelled 
sores in DC. Fl. Fr, iy, 550, and I can assure one o sf
