sometimes seen in cottage gardens chiefly in the north, and has 
been for some years almost a weed in the garden of D na Vi-

S. Vicente, without however spreading beyond its walls.

“ Circcea lutetiana L.” of IIoll’s List in J. of Bot. 1. 21, 41, 
was doubtless either a mistake for something elso (possibly 
Achj/ranlhes argentea L.), or from admixture of Portuguese 
with Mad. specimens. No such pi. lias occurred to any other 
botanist in Mad., nor has it been found either in the Canaries 
or Azores.
