[//. villosuin (L.), specimens marked from Clova district are 
found in several Herbaria, notably in the Royal Herb. Kew, 
the Xat. Hist. Mus., Barras Bridge Xewcastle-on-Tyne, and 
that of Sir J. E. Smith. Some of the plants are correctly 
named, but others are //. aljrinum, II. eximinm., or //. senescens. 
It is extremely probable that cultivated specimens of //. villo- 
sum were circulated by mistake, instead of some of these very 
hairy alpine forms that abound in the Clova district. Nothing 
approaching II. villosum L. has been found during the past 
fifty years.]
