123. Potentilla sylvestris Neck., as Schinz & Thellung 

 point out, must be replaced by P. erecta Hampe in Linnaa, xi. 

 50 (1837) ; it was the Tormentilla erecta L. Sp. PI. 500. 



P. verna L. Schinz & Thellung, following Ascherson & 

 Graebner (Syn. FL Mittel-Europ. vi. pt. 1, 792), abandon this 

 as a "nomen omnino confusum." But in view of the facts 

 that the Linnean species is generally admitted to include the 

 plant known to British botanists as P. vema> and that the 

 specimen in the Linnean herbarium is that species, we have 

 retained the name in preference to P. Tabemcemontani Aschers., 

 which is adopted by Schinz & Thellung. 



129. Eosa villosa L. We do not follow Schinz & Thellung in 

 abandoning this name on the ground of confusion. There is no

confusion as regards British botany, though the name is * ad- 

 mittedly a group name. 



136. Epilobium parviflorum, roseum and obscurum Schreber 

 Spicil. Fl. Lips. 1771. It is necessary to quote these names from 

 the Conspectus at the end of the volume which serves as an index ; 

 in the body of the work the species stand under Chamanerion. 



E. alpinum L. We agree with Mr. E. S. Marshall in following 

 Haussknecht's monograph of the genus (p. 159), where it is shown 



iji 



agallidifoli 



Lam. Encycl. ii. 376 (1788). 



143. Cotyledon Umbilicus should stand as C. Umbilicus- 

 Veneris L. 



148. Drosera. Schinz & Thellung have called in question our 

 use of Hudson's names. There is no doubt, from the citation of 

 Ray and the English name — Great Sundew — that Hudson's D. 

 anglica (ed. 2) is our largest sundew, and that his longifolia repre- 

 sents intermedia, in spite of his citation of Parkinson's figure of 

 the Great English Sundew. In his first edition Hudson followed 

 Linnaeus in applying the name longifolia to the aggregate species, 

 and in his second edition separated D. anglica. 



111. Daucus gummifer. The reference should be to Allioni 

 in Misc. Taur. v. 182 (1774). 



179. Torilis Anthriscus. The reference should be to Gmelin 

 Fl. Bad. i. 615 (1805). 



184. Physospermum Cusson (1787). An earlier name for 



this genus is Danaa All. Fl. Pedem. ii. 34, t. 63 (1785). The 



species therefore stands as D. cornubiensis Burnat Fl. Alp. Marit. 



iv. 99 (1906), where an exhaustive account of the synonymy is 

 given. 



196. Galium saxatile L. Schinz & Thellung abandon this 

 name in favour of G. hercynicum Weigel Obs. 25 (1772), on the 

 ground that saxatile is localized by Linnaeus as a Spanish coast 

 plant. However, botanists generally consider the two synonymous,
