186 HYMENOMYCETES BRITANNICI. 
Moneses grandiflora; Aiton, not Willdenow, for Cyclamen hedere- 
folium ; Erica Mackayi should be spelt Mackaii. « Leestid.” occurs 
more than once for ‘ Laestad.’’; ‘ Leysse”’ is not a good abbrevi- 
ation for Leysser: but the number of misprints or errors is 
sing ew. Some of the varieties have odd na nes, such as 
‘Silene gallic anglica x quinquevulnera, Melvill”; but as 
ety. g, such as ‘ Rumex 
1236 hybridi, ‘teste Trimen”,” followed by seven hybrids;

‘* Bot. Ang. Ed. tertia. 
Gen. Seq. Hooker.” ;

black line h

cloth and on stouter paper are useful and practical. We shall be 
glad to know that the present issue of the Catalogue is exhausted, 
so that a still more satisfactory edition may take its place.

Tus is the first of two volumes of a work intended to supply 
ig short-lived and variable plants. 
The appearance of a work of this nature is an event of some 
muportance, when we consider how few books we have in 
our 
bject.- It is now just fifty years (1836) since
