263,-— "e. s. minor luteo parvoque flore" by C. Bauhin pin. 98, "sisymbrium palustre repens nas- 

 turtii folio " by Tournefort inst. 226, and known to grow in moist places throughout middle Europe 

 (fl. Dan. pi. 931, Curt. lond. iii. pi 41, and Pers.), also in Tauria, Persia, and China (Dec, and 

 Wats.) : observed by Linnaeus in Sweden ; by Sibthorp, in marshy places on mount Haemus. In the 

 Southern Hemisphere is known to occur in Australia (Dec, and Wats.), possibly transported there 

 by Malayans or Chinese. Clearly by European colonists, was carried to Northeast America, ob- 

 served by C. J. Sprague in Newton near Boston (A. Gray). 



Trifolium montanum of Europe and the adjoining portion of Asia. Termed " t. pratense 

 album" by Fuchsius 818, — and Bauhin hist. ii. 379, " t. majus primum " by Clusius hist. ii. 245, 

 "t. montanum album " by C. Bauhin pin. 328, and Tournefort inst. 405, and known to grow through- 

 out middle Europe (Rivin. tetrap. pi. 12, fl. Dan. pi. 1172, and Pers.) : observed by Linnaaus in Swe- 

 den, abounding on arid hills ; by Sibthorp, on the mountains of Crete. 



Hypericum montanum of Europe and the adjoining portion of Asia. Termed " ascyrum " by 

 Fuchsius 74, — " h. elegantissimum non ramosum folio lato " by Bauhin hist. iii. 383, and Tournefort 

 inst. 255, and known to grow on the mountains of Northern and middle Europe (Col. ecphr. i. pi. 74, 

 fl. Dan. pi. 173, Engl. bot. pi. 173, and Pers.) : observed by Linnaeus on the mountains of Sweden; 

 by Sibthorp, and Chaubard, in the Peloponnesus. 



Hypericum hirsutum of Europe and the adjoining portion of Asia. Described by Fuchsius 

 74 — (Spreng.) ; termed "h. majus sive androsaemum Matthioli " by Ray hist. 1000, "h. villosum 

 erectum caule rotundo " by Tournefort inst. 255, and known to grow on the mountains of Northern 

 and middle Europe (Columna ecphr. i. pi. 74, Moris, ii. 5. pi. 6, Curt. lond. iii. pi. 49, and Pers.) : 

 observed by Linnaeus on the mountains of Sweden as far as Upsal; by Sibthorp, in the Peloponnesus. 



Diplotaxis tenuifolia of Europe and the adjoining portion of Asia. Called in Britain wall-iocket 

 (Prior) ; described by Fuchsius 539 — (Spreng.), and already in the days of Gerarde 192 common 

 upon old walls (Sm. fl., and Bab.) : termed "sinapi erucae folio" by Tournefort inst. 227, "eruca syl- 

 vestris " by Blackwell pi. 266, " sisymbrium tenuifolium " by Linnaeus, " brassica muralis " by Hudson, 

 and known to grow along walls and among rubbish throughout middle Europe (Lam. fl. fr., and Pers.) : 

 observed by Sibthorp around Constantinople. Suspected by Watson to be exotic in Britain, perhaps 

 on insufficient grounds (A. Dec). 



Brassica erucastrum of the West Mediterranean countries. Described by Fuchsius pi. 262, — 

 and known to grow among rubbish in Southern Europe (Pers.) : observed by Villars, in Dauphiny 

 (Steud.) ; by myself, on Malta. 



Veronica agresiis of Europe and the adjoining portion of Asia ; termed "alsine media" by Fuch- 

 sius 22 — (Spreng.), and the "alsine foliis trissaginis" of Tabernaemontanus hist. 1089, and "a. cha- 

 maedryfolia flosculis pediculis oblongis insidentibus " of C. Bauhin pin. 250, are referred here by 

 Linnaeus : V. agrestis is known to occur in cultivated and fallow ground throughout middle Europe 

 (Tourn. inst. 145, and Curt. lond. i. pi. 1); was observed by Linnasus in Sweden; by Sibthorp, in 

 shaded and cultivated ground on the Bithynian Olympus. By European colonists, was carried to 

 Northeast America, observed in " sandy fields, rare " (A. Gray) in our Middle States, and in " culti- 

 vated ground" in our Southern States (Chapm.). 



Blitum virgalum of the Uralian and Tartarian plains. Described by Fuchsius 174 — (Spreng.), 

 and Morison iii. 5. pi. 32 ; termed "morocarpus foliosus " by Moench ; observed by Pallas trav. i. 583 

 on the Lower Yaik ; and known to grow in Tartary (Pers.). In Britain, has been found in one locality, 

 near Edinburgh (Wats.), clearly exotic ; occurs also here and there in Holland and the neighbouring 

 countries (A. Dec), and is perhaps exotic also near Narbonne and in Spain (see Pers.). 



Teucrium botrvs of Western Europe. An annual termed " chamaedrys femina"by Fuchsius 



870 (Spreng.); known to grow in stony calcareous soil in Normandy (Breb., Hard., Ren., and 



Lecl.), occurring also in cultivated ground (Pers.) ; observed by Moench in Germany (Steud.). In 

 Britain, of late years has been found from time to time near Boxhill in Surrey (Wats.), but is regarded 

 by A. Decandolle as probably exotic ; and perhaps also exotic in Holland (prodr. fl. bat.). 



Stachys Gennanica of Europe and the adjoining portion of Asia. Called in Britain woundwort, 

 its soft downy leaves being substituted for lint (Prior); described by Fuchsius 766 — (Spreng.); 

 termed "s. major germanica" by Tournefort inst. 186, "s. lanata" by Crantz, and known to grow in 

 woods from Denmark throughout middle Europe, occurring also about cultivated ground (fl. Dan. pi. 

 6S4 Jacq. austr. pi. 319, and Pers.) : was observed by Sibthorp in sunny situations in the Pelopon- 

 nesus. In Britain, though unknown to Gerarde, is regarded by Ray as indigenous ; an opinion doubted 

 by Watson on account of the few and wayside localities, but the plant according to A. Decandolle is 

 more frequent on neighbouring portions of the continent. 



Orchis sambucina of Europe and the adjoining portion of Asia. Described by Fuchsius 557 — 

 — (Spreng.) ; termed '• o. pannonica octava" by Clusius hist. i. 269, "o. palmata sambuci odore " by 

 C. Bauhin" pin. 86, and known to grow in mountainous situations throughout middle Europe (Tourn.
