‘for fuller particulars and a further analysis. In our plate, fig. 3 
is a little out of proportion, the sheaths and filaments being too 
short in proportion to their breadth, a distortion arising from 
their having been strongly pressed between glasses, for the 
purpose of separating them. Professor Kiitzing, who has founded 
the genus, describes no less than thirty-two species, several of 
which, probably, may be detected in this country. Whether 
our S. Warrenieé be referable to any of those enumerated, I 
cannot say, not having had the opportunity of comparing 
specimens; and being unable to determine the point from the 
author’s short descriptions, in reading over which one is tempted 
to believe that the thirty-two might well be reduced at least one- 
half. Be this as it may, the plant now figured was added to 
our Flora by Dr. Caspary, and has been named by him in 
honour of Miss Elizabeth B. Warren, of Falmouth, a lady whose 
researches in natural history amply entitle her to this compliment.
