in series and families, and so accessible for reference by those who 
may adopt the sequence in future local floras. Many names, of 
course, are unfamiliar to those who scan English plant-lists—e. g. 
Sparganiacee for the natural family which includes only Sparganium ; 
Calamintha Lamk.; Chrysanthemum as including Tanacetum; Pirus 
instead of the philologically corrupt Pyrus; Torilis Anthriscus for 
Caucalis Anthriscus; Adoxace i 
oliacee; &. One new name only is in the list—Crassula Tillea 
h 
I am therefore obliged reluctantly to suggest a new specific name. 
The author’s modest reluctance is quite unnecessary, as the name 
is most suitable and appropriate. 
mong the details of the Flora itself, it is interesting to note 
Cus genui 
cherophyllus, Echium plantagineum, and Linaria Pelesseriana, all 
considered native. Ranunculus ophioglossifolius is unfortunately 
now quite extinct in the Channel Islands though Mr. 
Mr. Lester has preferred Parentucellia to the earlier T’ TIXAGO, 
and rightly so, as the latter genus is badl defined, and its charac- 
ters would include species already well placed in other genera. 
Interesting notes on suc as Nasturtium officinale, Orobanche 
caerulea, Trifolium Molinerii, and Centaurea aspera, are valuable to 
the critical studen erlin reformers ignore such revivals as 
Roripa, Castalia, Neckeria, Homalocenchrus, and similar neglec 
neric names. Few slips are noticeable. Cirsium anglicum, at- 
tributed to Lobel (1581), i 
De Candolle should be cited as the authority. I have elsewhere 
suggested that Cirsium britannicum Scop. should be the name of the 
English plant otherwise known as Cnicus pratensis Willd. ; though 
Mr. W. P, Hiern has given good reasons for questioning the 
correctness of the application of the name. When quoted, Prof, 
E[duard] Hackel has the “a in his name modified, and is thus 
likely to be confused with Prof, E[rnst] Hickel, of Jena. The
