and suspected on the spot, at two localities half a mile distant, to 
be a hybrid between 8. Limonium L, and S. rariflora Drej. After 
careful examination and due discussion, we were both of us con- 
vineed that sundry gatherings, with, slight variations inter se, were 
this aaheteeine hybrid. See Jow . Bot., 1902, p. 41.” ‘

Moller (their plant, however, is pipes 5 but, in Sum, Veg.

exactly what we should not say. Pye see that there is need for

any note on it. I doubted the hybridity, and do now, but cannot 
contradict it; still, it needs careful comparison.”—Ar. Bennett. 
“Tt is only fair to state that Mr. 
merged when we germ there. No one would place my extreme 
specimens of the alleged hybrid under any one type. I have 
practically no doubt that they are all either pr sass or secondary 
ybrids between two very distinct species; being only present 
where myn grow together, and forming n early a mag series

Unfortunately, T have hitherto been unable to consult the national
