are recorded. Vahl doubts its claims to be in them." Babington 

 did not consult the small collection of drawings of the Iceland 

 plants made for Banks by J. F. Miller, who accompanied him on 

 the voyage to Iceland in 1772 ; had he done so he would not have 

 failed to identify the figure named by Solander Hieracium pra- 

 morsum with H. ccesium Fr., of which Banks and Solander' s 

 specimen — not mentioned by Babington — is in the Herbarium. 

 It may be worth while to give a list of Miller's sketches — of 

 Hieracium ccesium and the forms of Gentiana campestris finished 

 drawings from the sketches were made by Thomas Burgis — 

 Banunculus hyperboreus Eottb., Arabis petraa L., Saxifraga 

 hypnoides L., S. nivalis L., Leontodon autumnalis L., Hieracium 

 ccBsium'Er., Erigeron alpinum L., Gentiana campestris L., Kcentgia 

 islandica L. Of the Gentian tw T o forms are figured — one with 

 white or flesh-coloured flowers, the other of a red-purple hue 

 throughout, including the blossoms. The specimen of G. tenella 

 in Solander's collection is, as Babington says (I. c. 318), labelled 

 G. (Ederi, but not in Solander's hand, although the name is 

 assigned to him in the Index Keivensis. 



Cyrtandra glabrata (" Solander [Dryander] MS. in h. Mus. 

 Brit.") C. B. Clarke Monogr. Cyrtandr. 277. This species as described 

 by Clarke is founded on specimens collected by Cook in Tahiti in 

 1775. The name (written glabra) was originally applied to a plant 

 collected by Banks and Solander, of which there is a full 

 description in Solander's MSS. and a drawing by Parkinson 

 (glabrata). Dryander included Cook's plant under the same 

 name, and it is this latter which must be considered as the type 

 of glabrata ; the Banksian specimens are referred by Clarke to 



C. biflora Forst. 



Dicliptera frondosa Juss. Under this Seemann (Fl. Vit. 

 183) places " D. floribunda Sol. Prim. Fl. Ins. Pacif. (ined.) 

 p. 203, " of which he transcribes the description. There being no 

 specimen of D. frondosa from Banks and Solander, I suspected 

 some confusion, especially as Seemann refers to a Banksian 

 specimen of D. clavata (Diforstera Baill.) which does not appear 

 in the copy of Prim. Fl. Ins. Pacif. which Seemann consulted. 

 A reference to the rough draft in Solander's hand shows that the 

 name of the plant originally described therein as floribunda was 

 subsequently changed by him to clavata— a,n alteration overlooked 

 by Sigismund Bacstrom when transcribing the MS., or possibly 

 made after the transcription. The entry under D. frondosa in Fl. 

 Vit. should be restricted to the words " from Tahiti (Forster !
