tab. 80 (July, 1777) ). (Mote. Lanataae description of Fucus 
rubens is in no way captleahie to the present species. In his 
inhaian there are four specimens preserved under the name 
F’. rubens ; three of them, pinned together, belong to the present 
species, the fourth to Rhodymenia palmata. It seems to me to be 
more than probable that Linnzeus gave the name Fucus rubens to 
oyen’s ‘‘ Fucus caule tereti ramoso, foliis oblongis undulatis sinu- 
atis difformibus”” (FI. Leyd. p. 514), without ever having seen a 
specimen of the e plant; and subsequently laid into his herbarium, 
at different times, specimens of two very dissimilar species, believing, 
at the time of laying in, that each was the plant referred to by 
Royen. It is worthy of note that Esper understood the Linnean 
description to refer to R. palmata (Esp. Icon. Fue. p. 148, tab. 75). 
Iti ns “ eaUaly doubtful what Hudson’s Fucus crispus really was. The 
onyms given in the first edition of the Flora Anglica, p. 472 
(1769), would lead one to suppose it was the ce species ; but 
in the second edition Hudson adds a reference to the Mucus crispus 
of Linneus (Mantissa Plantarum, p. 134 (1767) \ which makes one 
doubt whether his plant may not have been only a variety of 
Chondrus crispus.) Distribution.—Coasts of Cornwall (St. Minver,
