S. occidental™ Lloyd, Fl. Loire-Inf. 212 (1844). 

 L. occidental 0. Kuntze, Rev. Gen. ii. 395 (1881). 



340. Littorella uniflora Ascherson t Fl. Brandenb. 544 (1864) 

 Piantago uniflora L. Sp. PL 115 (1753). 



346. Chenopodium serotinum L. Cent. PL ii. 12 (1756) = C. 



flcifolium Sm. FL Brit. i. 276 (1800). Linnaaus gives it as an 



English plant and cites as a synonym Blitiim Jicus folio of Ray's 



Synops. ed. 3, 155, and later includes it in his Flora Anglica 



(Amoen. Acad. iv. 98). 



348. Salicornia Europe L. Sp. PL 3 (1753). S. europaa L. 

 included two plants named herbacea and fruticosa. These are raised 

 to specific rank in Sp. PL ed. 2, 5, where the name europaa dis- 

 appears. We have retained it for the former plant. 



353. Polygonum maculatxjm Babington, Man. ed. 7, 301 (1874). 

 This is generally cited as of Trimen and Dyer (Joum. Bot. is. 36, 

 1871). but occurs there only as a subspecies of P. lapathifolium L, 



P. Roberti Loiseleur, Nouv. Not. 17 (1827). We follow Nyman 

 (Consp. Fl. Europ. 638) in restoring this name as the earliest for 

 the species. 



363. Callitriche palustris L. Sp. PL 969 (1753). We have 

 retained Linnaeus's name for the first part of his original species, 

 which is cited for C. vema in FL Suec. ed. 2, 2 (1755). 



378. Juniperus sibirioa Burgsdorf, Anleit. ii. 124 (1787). This 

 is an earlier name for J. nana of Willdenow, who cites it as a 

 synonym. It has until recently been overlooked, but Prof. Sargent 

 I Siiva N. Anier. x. 76, 1896) and Koch (Dendrologie, ii. pi. 2, 116, 

 1873) accept it. 



385. Wolffia arrhiza Wimmer, FL Sehles. ed. 3, 140 (1857) 



Lemna arrhiza L. Mant. 294 (1771). 



386. Potamogeton compressus L. Sp. PL 127 (1753). We follow 

 Ascherson & Graebner (Syn. Mitteleur. FL L 339, 1897) in taking 

 this name for P. zosterifolius Schum. 



P. longifolius Babington was based on a single plant of 

 very doubtful affinity; see Journ. Bot. 1894, 204. It is therefore 

 excluded. 



404. Habenaria Montana Durand & Schinz, Consp. Fl. Afr. v. 

 82, 1892. We have retained the earliest specific name; t«e 

 species was first described as Orchis montana Schmidt, Fl. Botini. I. 

 85 (1793). 



405. Ophrys. We agree with authors in regarding 0. insecti- 

 fera L. Sp. PI. 948 (1753) as including what is generally known 

 as the insectiferou3 group, and as therefore untenable for any 

 segregate. The first author to differentiate was Hudson (Fl. Angl- 

 340 (1762) ) who separated O. mmcifem, and 0, apifera with a "▼•*• 

 p." In his second edition (p. 392, 1778) he raised this variety to 

 specific rank as 0. aranifera ; hut Miller (Gard. Diet. ed. 8, n. » 

 (1768) ) had already named this O. spheaodes. The English descrip- 

 tion of « the eighth sort" in this edition refers to n. 7— the Bee
