Var. V. Bobartii, Forst. I have called it Bobartii in honour of Bobart, 
whose name Ray has taken, and who was probably the discoverer of it in 
Oxon. As the elder Bobart died in 1679, and this plant is not mentioned 
in the first edition of Ray, it was probably his son, and successor in the 
care of the gardens, whose name Ray has adopted. Sir J. Smith, Trans.
