‘‘Lamium Nove Angliw Parietariis foliis’’ of Ray's Historia (1686), 
i. 560, since he writes of it, ‘In reliquis ad Lamium minus accedit ; 
foliis Parietarie #mulis ab eodem differt.”” As Ray adds, ‘‘ Canta- 
brigie olim in hortulo nostro coluimus,” and he left Cambridge in 
1662, this throws back his knowledge of the plant almost to the 
date of Morison’s coming to England from Blois

published, at the request of the University of Oxford, by his pupil 
Jacob Bobart, nineteen years after the second ; and Pulteney ale
