 have taken along with them this wonderful Property, 

 which while the Plant was flowering could hardly 

 have evaded their Notice : And therefore I prefumc 

 they underftood by thofe ftated Names no other than 

 the ft if. Ornithopod. filiq. which they might obferve 

 in Flower, not heeding the Pods, or perhaps finding 

 ' the Plant before it was podded, they were content to 

 tranfmit fuch a Diverfity in its Name, as was deriva- 

 tive only from its Flowers. Both thefe prqtty fre~

Page 14^. The Alfine Tetrapetalos Caryophylloides 

 quibufdam Holoft. minim. D. Rap, that grows frequently 

 about London in Upland failures, is very different in 

 myOpinion from the Alfine montan. capilhc. folio C.B.P. 

 which indeed is a Foreigner to us, but has a Leaf as 

 fine as a Hair, and four white Leaves to the,FLower, 

 as the Name imports, and is a pretty upright Plant, 

 of about a fmall Span in Stature, and not much un-

 the Synopfis, but inferred among the Supplenda, might 

 perhaps have been fupply'd by the Alfine Myofotis la-

 flore amplo membranaceo J). Lwyd^ as being the fame, 

 or a Variety of it.

 it is multifiliquous, or multicornous in its Capfule^ di-

 Refemblance of a Star $ and therefore, in my Opi-

 Sedum minimum acre march \ and if I miftake not, 

 the Minus teretifol. album \ but I have not yet tho- 

 roughly examined it, and therefore am not pofitive
