Dr. Preflon to Mr. Ray 3 1 3 



that Name, but I ftiould be glad to know if it is of 

 your own Obfervatipn. 



Eruca maritima Anglka filiqudfungosd Morifonitflan* 



genus flore £5? calice tetrapetalo^ cujus pijiillus mutatur* 

 in fruSlum oblongum fungofum geniculaium £5? in duas 

 capfulas divifum in quibus Jingulis unicum continetur fe~ 

 men oblongum. Turnef Inft. R. H. pag. ill. makes this 

 Plant a Species Crambes^ under the Name of Crambe 

 maritima foliis Eruc. latioribus fruElu haftiformi * 

 but it does not agree to the Chara6ter of Crambe 5 

 and therefore I think Dr. Herman was rather in the 

 right, who fays it has capfulam Dyfpermam. 



Anthyllis maritima lentifolia C. B. P. is placed in 

 your Syn. amongft the Pentapetalous and Papulife- 

 rous Plants, next the Alfines Species, and 1 think 

 with very good Reafon $ for by obferving the Plant, 

 I find it to have a Pentapetalous Flower, and Calix 

 fetalis ut plurimum bifidis cujus pijiillus mutatur in 

 capfulam fubrotundam 6? acuminatum in cujus cavitate 

 femina plurima rotunda £5? alba continent ur, fo that it 

 may very. well enter that Tribe. I cannot find where 



it be under the Name of 

 Alfine Ttfaritima fupina villofa foliis lanceolatis in 

 appendicTHfijFfR. H. pag. 66 f. 



Equifetum foetidum fub aquis repens. As for the 

 Flowers of this Plant, I could never obferve it with 

 any, fed femina profert rotunda , ad fingulos nodos fo- 

 liolis adhxrentia^ foliis rigidis & afperioribus bre- 

 vioribuS) odor gravis. 



Equifetum non feet ens fub aquis repens. Caules emit-

Equifeti foetidi fub aquis repens fecunda Species. This 

 Plant has longer, more (lender, and fmaller Leaves 

 than the former, ad Spithamx unius longitudinem cref- 

 centia^ more greeniih, £j? non tarn rigida ut in alterd
