Lengthy as this list is, it might be greatly extended 

 if Rubus, Salix and Hieracia, with hybrids, sub-var., 

 etc., had been included. I ought here to say that I 

 do not hold myself responsible for any names that 

 are not mentioned under my name ; I take them as 

 I find them. 



Ranuncuhis cambricus, Ar. Benn. Since the above 

 was named, I have submitted specimens of the plant 

 to H. Freyn, the well-known authority on the genus, 

 and he has named it " R. carniatus, Schur?." For 

 ten years I have had it growing, and watched it at 

 all seasons; and while fully believing it is a nov. 

 sp., and not the plant of Schur, still, in deference 

 to Herr Freyn's authority, I leave it at present under 

 the name he suggests, intending to submit to him a 

 larger series next winter.
