865. I am asked why ‘ Anthyllis rubra Gouan, 1765—1795,” 
should not eee A. Dillenii ‘‘ Schult. 1805?” I have spent 
much time in trying to discover where Gouan published this name, as 
I have no entry of any such name in the MS. of the ‘ Index at Kew. 
The earliest varietal name for the plant, since pre-Linnean hae 
known to me is f. coccinea Gray, Nat. Arr. ii. 597 (1821), preceding 
DeCandolle’s variety rubriflora in Prod. ii. 170 (1825); it is here 
that I find the first publication 4: cone Agee in herb. Balbis,

clearly preceded by the name of L. montanus given by Bernhardi in 
1810. The variety tenuifolius “Roth” was ‘‘ described by Roth as a 
variety of Orobus not of Lathyrus.” I give this note of Mr. Druce
