Galium near Toulouse, three of which are here described as 
novelties. Two forms believed to be hybrid also occur; they are 
F. vero-dumetorum and F. dumetoro-verum. Truly do these 
gentlemen say, in their introductory observations, “ # * la 
delimitation des especes, telle qu’elle avait d’abord ete indiquee 
par Linne dans son immortel ouvrages a-t-elle ete peu a pen 
modifiee et meme presque entierement abandonee. Non-seule- 
ment ses varietes sont aujourd’hui pour la plupart elevees au 
rang d’especes, mais encore on n’a pas craint de creer des especes 
nouvelles avec des formes que ses contemporains ou ses eleves 
n’eussent pas ose classer parmi les varietes.”
