MONTHLY BOTANICAL REPORT. 
T No. 211, of the English Botany for June, we have figures of two very rare ferns 5 the 
~ one of Polypodium, byperborevm, which is P. ilvense of Withering and Hull, Acrostichum 
ilyense of Hudson, but not of Linnzeus; and the other of Aspidium, fontanum of Swartz, the 
Polypodium fontanum of Linnzeus and other authors, even of Smith himself, in his Flora Bri- 
fannica, The author here has rectified an error, which he acknowledges he fell into in the 
fast-mentioned work, Linnzeus having confounded a specimen of the first of these ferns with 
his Polypodium fontaxum; it-was from this specimen that Dr. Smith took his description 5 
consequently his description of P. fontanum, in Flora Britannica, applies, in part, at least, to 
what he now calis P. hyperboreum. These two little ferns ave easily distinguished by attend- 
ing to a few characters. In P. byperboreum the pinnez are nearly opposite, with blaimt seg- 
ments, and the capsules are intermixed with hairs. In Aspidium fontanum, the frond is 
Smooth, the pinne chiefy alternate, with their segments sharply toothed, and-there are no 
hairs mixed with the capsules. : va 
Arbutus a/pina, another very rare plant from Scotland. 
‘Hieracium sy/vaticum. The confounding of this plant with H. msurorum, and the errors _ 
tespecting them in the Flora Britannica, are explained and rectified in the last volume.of the 
Linnean Society’s Transactions. The real H. murorum isa much more rere plant, and has not 
yet been figured in the English Botany. . ; 
Carpinus Betulus, the horn-beam. Z Wea gi 
In the last number for July we have figures of Carex pauciffora, a native of turfy bogs ia 
Scotland and Northumberland; discovered in the latter by Mr. Wynch. 
Carex intermedia, nearly allied to C. arenaria. ‘The name was given by Dr. Goodenough, 
now Bishop of Garlisle, from the middle spikes being chiefly male, whilst both the upper and 
_ lower ones are female. B . 
\ Carex Jimosa, and C. atrata. As far as can be judged by the figures and descriptions here 
given, these two species seem nearly allied, but the former is much the smallest and more 
' delicate in all its parts; it likewise has its terminal spike male, while the latter has male 
flowers, at the bottom of the female spikes; but his lordship observes, that the specimen of 
the latter in the Linnean Herbarium has the terminal spike male, and yet in other respects 
resembles the English plant. The colour of the spikes, according to the description, is not 
alike in the two, but in the figures here given is So little different, as to. give the two species
