Lees : British and Alien Plant-Lists. 



counting towards that goal of finality in nomenclature for 

 which Science is making. 



Leaving ' Words,' one may most profitably get to things, 

 and take both Catalogues together, as regards the New entries 

 of Species, discovered or described since 1894. To enumerate 

 all would take up too much space ; but the more noteworthy, 

 and especially those to be kept in mind when a-field, because 

 Manual definitions are not readily available, are as follows : — 

 Rammculiis scotictis, E. S. Marshall ; Fumavia occidentalis , 

 Pugsley ; Lepidium honariense, L. (lacerum, Meyer ? ) (Oxford 

 List) (Yorks.) ; Dianthus gallicus, Pers. [arenarius, Tho.) ; 

 Cap7ioides cava, Moench (Oxford List) ; Impatiens glandulifera, 

 Royle ; Lupinus nootkatensis , Donn. ; Erodium cygnorum, 

 Nees, (Yorks.) ; Coronilla varia, L. (Yorks.) ; Fragaria chiloensis, 

 Duchesne — the cult, strawberry (mostly) ; Saxifraga Farreri, 

 Druce (Oxford List, Ingleboro, Yorks.)— a natural Hybrid 

 between S. hypyioides and 5. tvidactylites—diiscoYQrQdi by our 

 Yorkshire traveller Reginald A. Farrer, Esq., of Ingleboro' 

 Hall. Cotoneaster microphylla, Wall. (Yorks.) ; Saxifraga 

 Geum X umhrosa (Ireland). ; Saxifraga rosacea, Moench ; 

 Epilohium nummularifolium, R. Cunningham, Yorks. (among 

 other counties), a New Zealand species, of recent introduction 

 either with seeds or in wrappers around roots of some of the 

 fashionable shrubby Zealandic Veronicas, Hectori, or salicor- 

 nioides. It grows as an increasing weed in the nursery quad 

 borders, where Veronicas were raised, of Elmet Hall, Roundhay. 

 Interesting because altho' an Alien to-day, and as such undesir- 

 able if it became a pest, it is rapidly colonising and trying to 

 become one of the rank and file of British weeds. It is, how- 

 ever, only a small species, four to eight inches in height, repent 

 in habit, the two to three inch flower-and-pod stalks standing 

 up at right angles to the creeping, rooting stem which is beset 

 with opposite leaves in aspect like those of Anagallis 

 tenella. Pod one inch, petals pale lilacy white. Its correct 

 designation, however, may prove to be linncBoides , Hook. fil. of 

 Flora Antarctica. CEnothera Lamarkiana, Seringe (vastly on 

 the spread over the Lancashire littoral). Inula hritannica, L. 

 (Leicester and Yorkshire — Wilstrop, etc., earlier remarked upon). 

 Artemisia stelleriana, Bess. Senecio Cineraria, D.C. Hieracium 

 Auricula, L. Hier. Ogweni, Linton, and several other Lintonian 

 ' species ' in esse, if I may venture the ' querulity.'
