species, or some other of the genus; if after the generic 
name, as Papaver 9 cambricum, it shows an uncertainty 
whether the plant so marked belongs to the genus Pa- 
paver ; when found affixed to the name of an author, as 
Papaver cambricum Linn., Smith, Lam. ?, it signifies that, 
while there is no doubt of the plant being the same as 
one described under that name by Linnaeus and Smith, 
it is doubtful whether it is not different from that of 
Lamarck. It may be remarked, that when the interro- 
gation has a general, and not a particular, application, it 
should be placed at the commencement of the para- 
graph ; as 9 Papaver cambricum Smith, &c., not Papaver 
cambricum Smith ?, &c., as is the usual practice.
