Explanation of Abbreviations. — The capital letter following the name 

 indicates my authority, which is not necessarily the oldest in each case : 

 B = Beal; D = Darwin; G = Guppy; K = Kerner; S = Scott Elliot. The 

 respective works quoted will be found at the end of this volume. The 

 papers of Darwin quoted will be found in Journ. Linn. Sac, " Botany,'' 

 vol. i., 1857, and in the Gardener's Chronicle for 1855. 



The asterisk is placed before those genera of which other species 

 examined by me exhibited no mucosity ; these species are Arabis hirsuta, 

 Viola canina, V. palustris, Matricaria inodora, Senecio aquaticus, Veronica 

 agrestis, V. arvensis, Nepeta cataria, Dracocephalum canariensis. 



II. Plants with Seeds or Seed-like Fruits which in my Experiments only 



exhibited Mucosity in a Slight Degree, becoming merely "Sticky" or

Arabis albida. Chrysanthemum leucanthemum, Lamium purpureum 

 (occasionally). Thymus sp., Juncus bufonius, J. communis, J. glaucus, 

 J. squarrosus. 



III. Plants with Seeds or Small Fruits that exhibit Adhesiveness m the 



Dry State and are apt to stick to one's fingers. 



Adenostemma viscosum, Lycopus europaeus. Piper Macgillivrayi, cSz:c. 

 One may include here also Lagenophora (see page 276) as well as the 

 familiar instances of Pisonia (page 347) and Boerhaavia (page 356).
