530 44. COMPOSITE. 
Arctium Lappa, Linn. With varieties. 
Provinces all. A. Bardana in all, unless 12 and 17 excepted. 
Cyb. ii. 72. In the Flora Anglica and Flora Britannica only a 
single aggregate species was treated under name of Lappa, with 
subordinate varieties. In the English Flora it was divided into 
two species, Lappa and Bardana. In the British Flora these two 
were re-united into one. In English Botany, edition third, that 
dual division is discarded in favour of another, into the two species 
majus and minus; the latter subdivided into three sub-species. 
T can recognize the two species as probably real, and have so 
treated them on page 219. Other names need a notice here. 
Arctium intermedium, Man. ed. 4,5. A. nemorosum, Bab. 6. 
Arctium intermedium, Man. ed. 6. A. pubens, Bab. ed. 4, 5. 
Provinces 12345678-10---14. 
Ambiguities. Professor Babington having applied the name 
intermedium differently in successive editions, it will become 
usually impossible now to say which of the two segregates is 
intended by recorders of localities who use that name. In the 
sixth edition it means pubens, but in former editions it means 
something which is not pubens, but whether the nemorosum of 
edition sixth is not made apparent there. Probably both are 
slight varieties of A. minus. In English Botany they are made 
sub-species under this latter; but the Editor intimates non- 
acquaintance with A. nemorosum. 
Arctium tomentosum, “ Pers.” Bab. man. ed. 4, 5. 
Provinces- 238? Sussex. Oxford. East England. 
Ambiguity. ‘Apparently not a native of England, but may have 
been found in E. Anglia”; Bab. man. ed. 5. Oxford Botanic 
Garden in 1867; to which Mr. Baxter says he brought it from 
Bagley Wood, many years before; Rev. W. W. Newbould. Sussex ; 
Mr. Hemsley, in Journal of Botany, no. 69. I must leave to others 
the reconcilement between these contradictory records, finding 
myself only mystified thereby. 
Serratula (tinctoria) monticola, Bor. 
Province 1. In the Lizard, Cornwall! 
Syn. 594. “Scarcely deserves the name of a variety, though 
made a species by Boreau; .... it is represented in E. B. No. 88”; 
Eng. Bot. ed. 3. 
Carduus (crispus) genuinus, Gren. & Godr. 
Provinces...? Probably as they are shown on page 220. 
Syn. 596. Oyb. ii. 75. ii. 454. This and the other two segre- 
gates made up the ‘‘acanthoides” of most English botanists until 
very recent dates. Jam unable to apportion my own herbarium 
specimens among them with the needful confidence; and thus am , 
compelled to leave the provinces in blank, not finding special 
localities on record.
