pretend to say the correct name it should bear. Mr. Marshall 
says that this is, he believes, type neglecta. How is that dis- 
tinguished from wmbrosa?—C. E. 8. We have in Britain three 
distinct forms :— 
1. S. neglecta Weihe. Pedicels and calyx hairy ; seeds acutely 
tubercled. 
- S. umbrosa Opiz (S. Elisabethe F. Schultz, apparently). 
Like the above, but with quite glabrous pedicels and cal 
neglecta var. decipiens. Like neglecta but for the bluntly 
S. media. 
consider S. wmbrosa (our usual form, at least in the West, 
and by far the most markedly different from S. media) the true 
“ type” of the species; but one has to accept the Vienna rulings, 
so our arrangement must be :— ‘ 
S. neglecta Weihe. 
6. Var. umbrosa (Opiz). 
c. Var. decipiens mihi=S. neglecta auct. angl. (non Weihe).
