S. Verpenaca and §. pyrenatca [S. clandestina L, Brown's 
MS. shows that these should not have been entered as separate 
plants: he merely identified the S. pyrenaica of the Masson list 
with his S, Verbenaca, indicating a doubt as to its being the true 
S. pyrenaica,]

ERITIs cANDICANS. [The first published description of this 
plant (Ait. Hort. Kew. ii. 289) is apparently based on a cultivated 
specimen in Herb. Banks, inscribed ‘‘ Hort. i 
was drawn up from wild plants collected in Madeira by Downe and 
Masson, the latter of which bears the name in the Herbarium; it 
is followed (in the MSS.) by a aig description of the plant which 
was grown at Kew in 1778. _Bentha m (Lab. 573 and DC. Prodr.

restricts to a plant collected in Teneriffe by Christian Sith, which 
Webb & Berthelot (Phyt. Canar. iii. 100) and Lowe (Appendix xi.)

Aiton plant was Madeiran, and I think there can tis little doubt 
that all the a ree specimens which have been called either

specimen written up by Dryander as candicans appears at first sight
