uisrs rather prostrate. The colour of the >pi’:es varied from red 
to greyiso green. D*\ Salisbury’s assoeia ror of it with S. ramo- 
sissi.'im is rather puzzling, as there seemed nothing n common in 
the hadt of the plant. — J. E. Little. The very oointed spikes 
ncicaoe S. ruinosissitna , the habit favour? eitl or Smithiana or

Lottie- Of the three specimens on my sheet, one is wholly 
single-flowered, and quite agrees with authentic S. disarticulata. 
1 he other two have some admixture of flowers in threes, and can- 
iiot be pure disarticulata , though they only differ from it in habit 
t v the < ather longer terminal spikes, and the more pointed apex of 
nearly ail. These are good signs of S. ramosissima. Dr. Salisbury's 
naming is doubtless right.— E.S.M.
