From one of these specimens, now n Herb. T. C. D., our figure 
has been taken. 
Of the reference to M. Lenormand’s @yagropila simplex (seem- 
ingly a manuscript name) I am quite certain, a specimen commu- 
nicated to me by that gentleman agreeing in all respects with 
Miss Turner’s plant; but possibly the reference to the Mediter- 
ranean Conf. simplex, J. Ag., may be incorrect. And yet I have 
little hesitation in uniting our plant with that species. They 
agree in every respect except in the length of the articulations, 
which, in the Mediterranean plant, are shorter than in ours; and 
this shght discrepancy seems scarcely sufficient to separate plants 
so closely allied, by so many remarkable features. 
Though not one of the handsomest, this is one of the most 
curious species of the genus. Outwardly it nearly resembles C. 
Brownit, but the form and proportion of the articulations are 
very different.
