Brassica Rapa; the common turnip. A valuable observation of Mr. T, A. Knight’s, the 
celebrated vegetable physiologist, is inserted, proving that “the Swedish turnip is a variety 
of this, and not of the cabbage, as has been supposed. pes 
Sagina maritima ; a minute plant, much resembling Sagina afetala, found on the sea-coast 
of Scotland and Ireland, and on.the summit of Ben Nevis! ye, 
Rosa bibernica. Some patrons of botany at Dublin offered a premium of gol. for the, 
discovery of anew Irish plant, which reward was claimed by J. Templeton, Esq. in con- 
sequence of his discovery of this supposed non-descript species, Its character is * fruit

Fragaria elatror; the hautboy strawberry : found in a wood on the west side of Tring in . 
Hertfordshire, and in Charlton Forest, Sussex, This species, bearing male and female flowers 
on different roots, is very apt to be unproductive, even in a cultivated state. It should be 
the business of gardeners to take care that some barren or male plants are intermixed with 
the fruit-bearing ones, which would probably insure a plentiful crop, ‘

been found since the time of Dillenius ; the drawing was of course necessarily taken from 
a garden specimen. 
Cistus fementosus, of Scopoli, Dr, Smith has received this from different botanists, 
athered in Scotland, and discovers it to be the same as Scopoli’s plant, from a comparison 
of it. witha specimen from that excellent botanist himself. Judging frora, the figures of , 
the above two plants, they appear to us to differ only in the form of the petals, and the | 
nature of the pubescence onthe under surface of the leaves; the difference of the former 
apparently arise from theic being defective in surrejanns, and the latter perhaps solely from 
eultivation,. i mn

Frankenia pu/ueru/enta; a very doubtful British species, drawn from a garden specimen ; 
said to have been found on the coast of Sussex, in the time of Dillenius; and Hudson

Atriplex erecta; this species, at first rightly defined by Hudson, but afterwards impros 
perly jomed by him with farwla, has not been of iate found by any botanist, and hence 
has necessarily been figured froma dried specimen in Mr. Rose’s Herbarium, named under 
the inspection of Mr. Hudson.
