492 12. CARYOPHYLLACES. 
Syn. 185. Dr. Boswell Syme remarks of this, most probably a 
sub-species, as the seeds are different in colour and sculpture,” 
from those of the two other chickweeds above noticed. I raised 
this by seed taken from the Kentish specimens of Mr. Edwards. 
The characters of glabrous sepals and pedicels, with larger and 
somewhat paler seeds, were repeated in the garden seedlings. The 
other characters of “long slender peduncles” and “ acuminated 
leaves” are occasionally seen on examples of media with hairy 
sepals; thus, are not distinctive. 
Stellaria (graminea) Babingtonii, Deakin. 7 
Province...? “Flor. Brit. 1i. 643, £7385”; Bab. man. ed. 2. 
Syn. 188. Cyb. i, 224. Omitted from later editions of Bab. man. 
Stellaria scapigera, Willd. 
Provinces - 15 16. Perth; Inverness; G. Don, in Eng. Flo. 
Ambiguity. Cyb.i. 225. According to Dr. Boswell Syme this 
is “apparently a monstrosity of S. graminea”; whereas Professor 
Babington “can scarcely believe that this is a state of S. graminea.” 
Professor Arnott says that its seeds produce S. graminea. 
Cerastium (triviale) holosteoides, F yes. 
Prov. - 11-15. Durham; Mr. Baker! Northumbrl.; Mr. Storey! 
Syn. 193. Also in Perth, according to the ‘ Manual.’ 
Cerastium pumilum, Curtis. 
Provinces 12345-[7-11 15]. Wight! Gloucester! 
Ambiguity. Cyb. i. 229. To my apprehension this remains still 
an ambiguous species. Is Professor Arnott right in referring it to 
triviale ? 
Cerastium (tetrandrum) atrovirens, Bab. 
Provinces all. Isle of Wight; Bromfield. Shetland; Edm flo. 
Syn. 194%. Cyb. 1, 228. iii. 328. Mag. Zool. Bot. ii. 201. 
Scarcely more than a synonym of C. tetrandrum; but having been 
elaborately described as a novel and genuine species, it cannot well 
be left out of a miscellaneous list in which even segregated varieties 
are generally noticed. The like remark may be applied to the 
next also. See pages 470—1. 
Cerastium (tetrandrum) pedunculatum, Bab. 
Provinces - 2 3. Isle of Wight and Essex; Bab. ]. c. infra. 
Syn. 194%. Cyb. i. 228. i. 328. Mag. zool. & bot. ii. 200. 
Cerastium (latifolium ?) nigrescens, Edm. 
Province - 18. Shetland; Edmondston flo. 29—80. 
No. 197. Cyb. i. 233. iii. 397. I am not able clearly to dis- 
tinguish apart the other two forms of C. latifolium in English 
Botany; namely, the Smithii and compactum.
