CHAP. Qf Linnceus, and a new species of Pink \ This 
^ v ■' last, from the interesting circumstances of 
(1) In this journey between Acre and Nazareth we discovered three 
new species ; besides other rare plants, mentioned 'n\ X\\q Appendix . 
The new species are : 
I. A non-descript species of JVild Bugloss, {Lycopsis Linn.) with 
lanceolate blunt leaves, from two to three inches in length, and 
the flowers sessile, pointing to one side, in curved close racemes 
at the ends of the branches ; the bracts linear, longer than the 
blossoms, and, as well as every other part of the plant, excepting 
the blossom and roots, hispid, with strong pungent bristles. We 
have named it Lvcopsis confertiflora. Lycopsis folds longo- 
lanceolatis calloso-ldspidis, integris : ramis dlff'usis decumbentihusve 
asperrimis; Jlorihus racemosis, imhricatis, sessilibus ; corollis calycc 
longiorihus ; hracteis elongutis lanceolato-lineca-ibies j seminibus supra 
glabris, nitidis, basi denticulatis. 
II. The new species of Pink mentioned above, (Dianthus Linn.) with 
slender stems, a foot or more in height, and very narrow three- 
nerved leaves, about an inch and a half long ; the flowers solitary, 
embraced at the base by six ovate sharp-pointed bracts, the 
petals unequally six -toothed at the end. This we have named 
DiANTHVS Nazar^us. DiatilJius caulibus parum ramosis simplici- 
busve Jforibiis srAituriis ; squamis calycinis tubo dimidio brevioribus, 
ovatis, acutisy sapius adpressis, petalis sex-dentatis ; foliis elongatis 
subidato-linearibits, trinerviis, margi7ie scabris, 
III, A curious non-descript species of Stone-Crop {Sedmn Linn.) with 
lanceolate fleshy leaves, the flowering stems nearly erect, from 
about fourteen to eighteen inches, or more, in height, and often 
leafless ; the flowers yellow, in a sort of umbel, composed of close 
unequal racemes ; the petals six, lanceolate and acute, with the 
same number of capsules, and twelve stamens. We have named 
it Sedum altum. Sedmn foliis lanceolatis aciilis integerrimis basi 
solutis ; cmdibus Jlorigeris erectis, scepiiis denudatis ; racemis subfcu- 
tigiatis; 2JcdiceUis secundis Irevibus ; Jloribus hexapetalis hexagynis ; 
jjctali-s lanceolatis; calycibus acutis. 
N. B. The squama; at the base of the germ are wanting in this spe-
