N my previous note (Journ. Bot. 1901, p. 860) on Anomodon 
Toccoe Sulliv. & Lesq., I mentioned that “ Toccoa Falls, Northern 
Georgia ’—the type locality for the species—was the only station 
known in North America. I have, however, just received, through 


the kindness of Mrs. Britton, a specimen (no er- 
barium) of A. Toccoe from the “Falls - the Yadkin River, North 
Vo ae where it was collected by - K. Small, in August, 


1892. It is & interesting to find that this example is distinctly

The present species closely resembles C. rhystophylla C. Miill. 
in general appearance. I am indebted to Dr. V. F. Brotherus for 
kindly sending me a specimen of Miiller’s species, from the type- 
locality Tue-lian-pin, Schen-si, China (J. Giraldi, April, 1895). 
On comparing this with the plant collected by Dr. Henry, it was 
found that the cells of the leaf and of the lamella were decidedly 
larger in the latter than in C. rhystophylla. In C, Henryt the leaf- , 
cells measure 15-20 » wide, whilst in C. rhystophylla they measure 
10-14 yw wide (cfr. figs. 4 & 7 with figs. 9 & 10). The leaves of 


doubtful if the true C. angustata really occurs in Japan. Mitten, 
in his “ Enumeration of all the Species of Musci and Hepaticz 
i oc. London, 2nd ser. iii. 


Bat. ii. 295, where the record runs, *‘copiosum legit Textor.” 
Mitten, however, remarks that the plant intended ‘‘may be the 
narrow-leaved state of A. undulatum.” There is a specimen in the 
Kew ] erbarium, labelled ‘ Atrichum angustatum Br. & Schpr. 
Japonia. Textor. Siebold.” This proves on examination to be 
certainly not C. angustata (which has a dioicous inflorescence), as 
s plant has an autoicous inflorescence, the male flower being 
situated close to the female. 
e remaining mosses collected by Dr. Henry belong to the 
following species :— 
unaria hygrometrica Hedw., ¢. fr. Yunnan; mts. to south-west 
of Mengtse, on rocks, 7000 ft. alt. (no, 18,716).

Schimper’s herbarium there is a moss labelled “ Dieranum

ampe’s herbarium, labelled “Fiji Graffe legt.” in Schimper’s 
handwriting, On this specimen Hampe has written ** Dicranum 
inflatum n. sp.,’’ and also, probubly at a later date, ‘‘ Solmsia inflata, 

theca junior sub lente gymnostoma. Fidji Ins. leg. Graeffe.’ 
tiller, in his Genera Muscorum Frrondosorum, p. 251 (1901), 
has referred to this Fiji moss as follows :—‘‘ Die angefihrten

The example of * D. inflatum” in Schimper’s herbarium is in 
excellent condition, and belongs without doubt to Hucamptodon 
Piliferus Mitt, Muse. Austr. Amer. p. 69 (1869). Some of the

interest from the geographical point of view. The species was 
found originally in the West Indies. Mitten (J. c.) Sag hon cigmef 
i reg 


Index Bryologicus (Actes Soc. Linn. Bordeaux, xlix. p. 238). Here 
the distribution of the species is given as “Am. Sept. Ins. 8. Mar- 
garit. Am. Merid. Ins. Trinitat.” The locality given by Mitten, 
however, certainly does not refer to the island of Santa Margarita 
off Lower California, but either to the island of Margarita off Vene- 
zuela, or, what is perhaps more probable, the words ‘‘ Margarita, 
Palma Real” refer to a single locality in Trinidad. ‘Palma 
Real” is the Spanish name for the common Royal Palm (Oreodowa) 
of the West Indies, and as the habitat of EF. piliferus is, according 
to Mitten, ‘in arborum cortice,” it may well be that by ‘ Palma 
Real” was intended, not a locality, but the name of the tree on 
which the moss was found. The only other station hitherto known 


. 


for the plant is Guadeloupe, whence specimens were distributed in 


fornia, whereas the island of Guadeloupe in the French Antilles is 
intended 

It is strange that so conspicuous a species as EF. piliferus should 
have remained so long unrecorded from Fiji. Graeffe, apparently, 
can only have collected a few specimens of the moss, as no mention 
of the species is found in the papers by Miiller in which Graeffe’s 
collection was worked out—‘ Musei polynesiaci presertim Vitiani 
et Samoani Graeffeani’’ (Journ. des Museum Godeffroy, vi. 51-90 
(1873-74) ) and ‘‘Die Flora der Samoa-Inseln; Musei’”’ (Engler’s

Schimper’s herbarium there are two specimens of a moss, 
one labelled ‘* Holomitrium procerrimum Sch. Taiti’’; the other 
‘ Dicnemon giganteus Sch. Taiti. Sir Wm. Hooker dedit June, 
18663": ® 


as Leucodon rugosus by Hooker in Muse. Exot. 1, tab. xx. (1818), 
and the habitat given as “In Nova Hollandi ; 
a Dicksonio missus,”” No definite information as to the exact 
locality or the name of the collector seems ever to have been 
published. 

In 1858, Miiller, in Bot. Zeit. xvi. 161, described a species of 
Dienemon collected by Banks in Tahiti as D. Banksii, considered 
by the author to differ from D. rugosus in certain vegetative cha- 
racters. The description runs as follows :—* Folia caulina sequalia 
(haud rugosa) dense imbricata robustissima, late ovato-lanceolata, 
basi constricta, superne plus minus involuta, inferne margine albida, 
nervo tenui complanato in mucronulum exeunte- ercursa, infra 
nervum denticulata, e cellulis lineari-ellipticis conflatis lutescentibus, 
alaribus parenchymaticis laxis fuscescentibus planis areolata, . ..

of ‘* Leucodon rugosus”’ at Kew, and found them to be identical. In 
the first place, the leaves of Miiller’s plant, both in the type- 
specimen and in the specimens collected by Ribourt, are decidedly 
rugose (if first moistened and then allowed to dry naturally without 
being subjected to pressure), and agree perfectly in this respect 
with the leaves of Hooker’s type. Further, although both Hooker 
and Schwaegrichen describe the margin of the leaf in D. rugosus 
as ‘quite entire,’ examination of the type-specimen shows that

from Oxford, Dublin, and Capetown we have to thank Prof. Vines, 
rof. Perceval Wright, and Prof. MacOwan. 

n the works of some of the botanical writers of the end of the 
seventeenth and beginning of the eighteenth centuries we find 
figures of. plants of this genus, the correct interpretation of which 
is a matter of primary importance. Very frequently these figures 
will be found quoted by subsequent writers under more than one 
species, leading to considerable confusion. 

- Morison, in his Plantarum Historia, vol. iii, (1699), figures 
two Cotyledons—Sedum Africanum Jrutescens, &¢., Sect. 12, tab. 7, 

89; and Sedum africanum teretifolium, Sect. 12, tab. 7, fig. 40. 
The first of these is quoted by Haworth (Suppl. Pl. Suce. p. 24) as 
& synonym of C. ramosa; the second (p. 23) under the somewhat 
heterogeneous species (, spuria, : 

n Caspar Commelin’s Hort, Med. Amstelaedamensis (1706) one 
is figured—Cotyledon Africana frutescens folio longo et angusto, flore 


j is 
the Oxford Herbarium, but seems rather to be the plant figured by 
De Candolle (Pl. Grasses, t. 168) as C. ungulata Lam. 

he most important of the older figures of Cotyledon are those 
of J. Burman in his Decades, 1738. To man of these he subse- 


very variously cited: for instance, tab. 22, fig. 1, Cotyledon foliis 
angustis, &c., is quoted by Linnwus (Sp. Pl. ed. 2, p, 614) for his

taken from the type of this plant in the Oxford Herbarium :—It is 
closely related to C. undulata Haw. ‘Leaves subrhombeo-cuneate,

C. undulata, distinctly longer than broad, but smaller; the flowers 
also are smaller than in that species, the corolla-tube being some- 
what ventricose, and the calyx-teeth are narrower. 

Differs from both C. orbiculata type and C. virescens in narrower 
leaves and smaller flowers ; it is distinguished from C. Beckeri by 
having a bunch of hairs at the base of the filaments, J udging from 
the description, it is closely allied to C. orbiculata L. var. oblonga 
DC. = C. oblonga Haw. ; and Galpin No. 5670, from rocky kranses 
on Nahoon river, Hast London, doubtfully placed under this variety 
of C. orbiculata L., is also very closely allied to C. crassifolia Haw. 
C. oblonga Haw. is only known to us from Haworth’s description.

Flowers pendulous in a small somewhat corymbose cyme. Corolla 
stamens, and carpels of various shades of cream-yellow, greenish 
towards the basin; last year a reddish tinge was also observed. 

Allied to C. coruscans Haworth (= C. canalifolia Haworth), but 
this species has larger flowers and a more copiously flowered 
inflorescence, and the corolla-lobes are narrower. Also allied to 
C. ungulata Lamarck. 

C. canaticutata Haworth, Suppl. p. 22 (1819). There are no 
specimens of this species in the Oxford Herbarium, and it is not 
mentioned by Harvey. The following is Haworth’s original descrip- 
tion :—‘‘C. (slender, channel-leaved) foliis linearibus semiteretibus 
alte canaliculatis, caudice erecto subramoso deorsum incrassato, 
tuberculatim subpapillari e vestigiis persistentibus foliorum. Vigebat 
in regio horto Kewensi a.p. 1818. Folia viridia collecta subtermi- 
nalia ut in affinibus, at solum sesquilineam uniformiter lata, et 
2-8-lineas longa, a basi ad apicem profundissime concinnique 
canaliculata.”’ 

In the Index Kewensis this plant is referred to C. ungulata Lam., 
which, as far as we can judge from the above description, is 
probably correct. 

C. srurta L. Sp. Pl. ed. ii. p. 614 (1762); Burm. Prod. Fi. 
Cap. i. p. 18 (1768). The following is the Linnean diagnosis and 
synonymy :—

Cotyledon africana frutescens, folio longo & angusto, flore 
flavescente. Comm. Pl. Rar. 23, t. 28; Burm. Dec. i, 16;:28 


above, as indicated elsewhere. Comm. Pl. Rar. page 28, t. 28, 
seems to us identical with the plant figured in Pl. Grasses, tab. 168, 
as C. ungulata, and we think the name (. spuria ought to be borne 
by this plant, excluding the other plates quoted.

THE NOMENCLATURE OF LACHNANTHES. 
By James Brirren, F.L.S. 


A PRONOUNCEMENT on nomenclature contained in a note in the 
Gardeners’ Chronicle for 21 Sept. 1901 (p. 227), on the plant ee 
under the above name had lately formed the subject of a corre- 
Spondence in the Times, has induced me to look up the ahaa 
with pee ao oie result. 

e for the plant now adopted in Britton and Brown's 
Wustrated see (i. 443) is ‘*Gyrotheca capitata (Walt.) Morong,” 
@ reference to Bull. Torr. Club, xx. 472. In the Bulletin, 
Se cites Anonymo—an error for Anonymos which has been 
faithfully papied by all subsequent citers—capitata Walt. FI. Car.

pees when he is doubtful about the genus, but his description is so 
full that he are can doubt what is meant.’ This note seems to 

€ been cause of the subsequent confusion; and it is ex- 
tremely diffenlt to understand how Morong came to write it. The

description of Anonymos capitata is indeed full, and ‘‘no one can

earlier authors—e.g. Pursh (Fl. Amer. Sept. i. 31), Dryander in 
Herb. Banks, Bosc, Steudel (Nomencl. ed: 2, ii. 2)—and is cited by 
Elliot (Bot. 8. Car. i. 47) in establishing his genus Lachnanthes, 
which he based on “the minute descriptions of Walter and Michaux 
compared with living specimens.” 
merican botanists are of course right in taking up Salisbury’s 


nomen nudum, 

Unfortunately neither Anonymos is preserved in Walter’s Her- 

barium, in which, however, there is a specimen of Lachnanthes 

enera.” His A. capitata is correctly referred in 
the Index Kewensis to Burmannia capitata, and is cited by J. F. 
Gmelin (Syst. ii. 107) when establishing the genus Vogelia which 
he proposed for that plant. 

The Gardeners’ Chronicle says that the plant ‘was introduced to 
British gardens in 1812, according to Nicholson”; but a reference 
to Salisbury’s paper, quoted above, would have shown that it was 
introduced by Fraser in 1788. 

The synonymy of the plant is:— 


GyRorHEca Tinctor1a Salisb. in Trans. Hort. Soc, i. 827 (1812). 
Anonymos tinctori [a] Walt. Fl. Carol. 68 (1788), 
Heritiera tinctorum J. F. Gmel. Syst. Nat. ii. 118 (1791); Bose

ritton & Brown, Ilustr. Flora, i. 443 (1896); non Walt. 
Gyrotheca capitata Morong, Coville, and Britton & Brown, Ui. ce. 
I am entirely at one with the criticism of the Chronicle on 
what it styled “the (very curious but very unsatisfactory plan of 
adopting a mutilated name and attributing it (in brackets) to some- 


SOME NEW SPECIES FROM AUSTRALIA 25 


one who could have known nothing about the name; the putting 
his name in brackets does not obviate the misstatement.” In 
deference to the wishes of some contributors, such a method of 
citation appears in their contributions to this Journal, but it seems 


n f 
the Indea Kewensis, of the Genera Plantarum, and of Nicholson’s 
Dictionary.” And how if these authorities differ ?

A distinct and handsome species, the varying size and shape of 
whose seeds are worthy of mention. The largest seed of the cell 
opened by me has a wing only 0-1 cm. in width; in other cases the 
wing is double as wide or even more. The size of the embryo, too, 
varies greatly, though perhaps some of these seeds would have been 
incapable of germination. The leaves and the long projecting valves 
of the capsules are the chief specific points of the plant. 

Some of Robert Brown’s specimens of this are also at the Kew 
Herbarium, having been presented to that institution after the death 
of J. J. Bennett.

short quadrate labellum with its appendages, and the setaceous

which it can at once be distinguished from S. canaliculatum.

While on the subject of Australian plants, one ane perhaps be 
allowed a few words about the collections made by James Drummon 
” the early days of what was then called the ‘ stg River Settle- 
ent.” The most complete of Drummond’s sets is in the Herbarium 
at ae: that at the British Museum is not quite so good. There is, 
however, one unfortunate feature which detracts from the value of 
Drummond’s work as represented at Kew, and that is the occasional 
uncertainty as to the number, more often as to the year of collection 
n specimen. In the early days of the Kew Herbarium, 
collectors’ labels were often destroyed, sometimes without so much 
as inscribing the numbers upon the sheets. In Drummond's case 
the year of collection has been more often omitted than the number. 


80 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 


They managed things better at the Museum, where Drummound’s 
original labels have been carefully preserved. It is therefore un- 
fortunate that Mr. Bentham, while writing the Flora of Australia, 
did not glean the necessary information in respect of Drummond’s 
plants from the senior institution, since, by trusting in the haphazard 
method pursued at oldtime Kew, he has committed many blunders 
which must have been a fertile source of embarrassment and error 
to subscribers to Drummond’s sets abroad.

Dr. Prain, in a note on the specimen collected by Dr. King’s 
collector, calls it S. Rhynchopyle, and says it is extremely near 
Rhynchopyle Grabowskii Engler, if not exactly that. A specimen of 
the latter species is in the British Museum Herbarium, and appears 
very different. It has the thick short spathe of S. Rhynchopyle, and 
leaves of the same texture as that of the common Rhynchopyle 
elongata Engler, whereas the Perak plant has the long narrow 
spathe of the typical Schismatoglottis. Engler himself, followed by 
Sir Joseph Hooker in the Flora of British India, makes Rhyncho- 
pyle a section only of Schismatoglottis; but I think that, though 
S. longifolia has a short cup-shaped tube to the spathe in fruit, m 
all other respects it seems to be a true though peculiar Schismato- 
glottis. The long leaves, and tall slender peduncles produced i 
some numbers, make it a remarkable and conspicuous plant.

No Lemnacee are definitely recorded from the Malay Peninsula 
in the Flora of British India, so that it may be worth while to 
record what species are as yet known from this region.

Rubus as being ‘to my knowledge, seven years old.” Meehan was 
one of the early students in this country of this perplexing genus ; 
he tells us in the interesting reminiscences which he contributed to 
the Journal of the Kew Guild for 1894 (pp. 88-48) that, ‘‘as a 
reward for the paper on Rubus, [he] was elected, before [he] was 
nineteen years old, a member of the Royal Wernerian Socie y.”” 
This paper does not seem to have been published, but he continued 
to study the genus after his arrival at Kew (in 1846), and at the 
end of 1847 wrote ‘‘A List of Rubi observed near London, with 
Observations” (Phyt. iii. 9). The observations read curiously 


we certainly nowadays have no cause to complain of any ‘“‘indis- 
position to study this genus’ :—

varying through difference in its place of growth, whence the cireum- 
stance I have related? or will different situations produce the same 
result ? We gardeners, who are in the habit of raising seedlings of 
florists’ flowers, generally understand a variety to be a form pro- 
duced from seed, and capable of reproducing seed, differing in some 
respects from its parent, in contradistinction to a mule or hybrid, 
which is not capable of reproducing seed. If this be the true 
definition of a variety, can these so-called varieties of Rubi be con- 
sidered as truly such? The various varieti f the apple, the 
gooseberry, and other fruit-trees still retain their several charac- 
teristics, although grown in the same soil and situations together, 
why should not true varieties of Rubi?” 

n the reminiscences already referred to, Meehan gives a graphic 
and interesting account of his two year Kew, where he fully 
availed himself of the opportunities at his disposal and laid the 
foundation of his subsequent career. He did not get on well with 
Sir William Hooker, although on mature reflection he considered 
that the Director was mostly in the right. On one occasion he was 
sent, as a punishment, to walk in the Cactus House, which no one 
cared for; and here he acquired a knowledge of Cacti which he 
afterwards turned to good account. He says:—‘‘ When I flowered 
for the first time under cultivation in America Cereus tuberosus, it 
led to my acquaintance with my life-long friend, Dr. George Engel- 
mann; and I h 1 


to whom he refers as ‘ my ideal.’ 

_ After occupying two other situations in England, Meehan deter- 
mined in 1848 to go to America on the invitation of Robert Buist, 
a florist in Philadelphia, with whom he remained for a year. 
1853 he established the nursery at Germantown, which he continued 
to supervise until his death, and which presented many of the 
aspects of a botanic ; i 
position, both in scientific, educational, and political matters ; and 
was a member of numerous learned societies. Of the variety and

) , eehan’s observations. 
Systematic botany did not greatly attract him; although his paper 


SHORT NOTES 41 


on the plants of Lewis and Clark’s expedition across the American 
continent in 1804-6 shows that he knew something of herbarium 
work; and he contributed the letterpress to four volumes of illus- 
trations of The Native Flowers and Ferns of the United States, 
published at Boston in 1878-80. In 1890,. having previously, 
almost ever since he settled in America, acted as horticultural 
editor and adviser to various journals, he established Meehan’s

specimens survive anywhere? I am confirmed in my op nion that 
the Avon Valley grass is a hybrid, since a strong patch in my 
garden with sixty to eighty spikes this summer proved perfectly 
sterile—Epwarp F, Linton. 


Acrosorsus Wirsont (Tayl.) Nees 1x Scornanp. — During the 
first week of November I found this very rare hepatic, with young 
fruit, in the ravine of Resipol Burn, Sunart, West Inverness. It 
was creeping among Hymenophyllum unilaterale, EKurhynchium myo- 
suroides, Lejeunea serpyllifolia, and Metzgeria conjugata, on the stem 

fatree. Mr. W.H. Pearson, to whom I sent as ecimen, mentions 
that is the finest which he has seen of this species. It is doubtfully 
recorded by Mr. Stabler in his Hepatice and Musci of Westmoreland ; 
otherwise it has only been previously found in Europe in the south- 
west of Ireland, where it does not appear to have been met with for 
many years.—Symers M. Macvicar.

species in three widely separated localities in Britain, whence it has 
been received at the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, for identifi-

this native of the plains of Nebraska to Texas has been introduced.

NOTICE OF BOOK, 


Botany of the Farées, based upon Danish Investigations Part I. 8vyo, 
pp. 340, 10 plates, 50 figures in text, and map. Copenhagen. 
London: Wheldon. 

Tuis well-printed volume is prefaced by historical notes by 
Prof. Warming, and contains, besides the “ hanerogame and 
Pteridophytya,”’ elaborated by C. H. Ostenfeld, contributions on the 
Bryophyta by C. Jensen, the Freshwater Alge by E. Borgesen, 
Freshwater Diatoms by E. Ostrup, and Fungi by E. Rost 
Lichens by J. O. Deichmann Brandth. The second part will con- 
tain the Marine Algw and Diatoms, Plankton, &. The work is 
written in English, and is thus easily consultable by British 
botanists, to whom the botany of the islands, which should be 
included in the British Flora, will prove of especial interest. The 
present notice is limited to a consideration of Ostenfeld’s portion 
of the work. 

The arrangement of the Phanerogams begins with the 
Boraginacee, and ends with Selaginella. It is illustrated with 
drawings of Plantago lanceolata y. depressa, Rhinanthus, Euphrasia, 
Vaccinium, Cerastium Edmonstoni, Honckenya, Polygala vulgaris v. 
Ballti, and Ranunculus Flammula f. speciosa. For the literature 
relating to the Islands, Dr. Ostenfeld refers to Rostrup’s F'eroernes 
Flora of 1870, and remarks that since then his 
and those by J. C. Melvill (published in this Journal for 1891, 
pp. 179-185), Kurtz, and Simmons are the only additions to it.

contains the greater part of Lyngbye’s collection, and to other 
principal ones, and material obtained by various collectors ; but 

has relied chiefly on his own, made with Mr. Hartz, and in 1895-97. 

He makes a few additions to the received flora, and certain correc- 

tions, not accepting several of Trevelyan’s determinations, &c. 

The most interesting of these additions are J’araxacum croceum

that the three forms are from three distinct 1 pa, reared from 
seeds sent from New Zealand; they are said to be permanent 
under cultivation. Unfortunately there is no oo of the pecu-

The scandent type, with its complete reduction of leaf-surface, is 
obviously adapted for growth under much drier conditions than the

At the meeting of the same Society on Dee. 5th, Dr. J. H. Salter 
read a paper on “ Protoplasmic Connections in the Lichens.” The 
investigations detailed were undertaken at the suggestion of Prof. 
Arthur Meyer, of Marburg, the Lichens chosen for special study 
being Peltigera canina, Evernia Prunastri, Usnea barbata, Cladonia 
fureata, C. rangiferina, and C. sqguamosa. One per cent. of osmic 
acid was used for fixing, dilute sulphuric acid for causing swelling, 


staining. Observations were made by a Zeiss 4, homogeneous oil- 
immersion objective, giving a magnification of 1600 diameters, and 
the drawings were made by the aid of the camera lucida. Sections

Durine a visit to Upper Teesdale of nearly a month’s duration 
e found, growing on the summit of Widdy 


like depressions locally known as brocks, with which the flatter por- 
tions of the Durham and North Yorkshire moors are intersected, a 


This plant remained undetermined until one of us (D. A. J.) 
examined it, whilst working out the Musci Veri we had collected, 


5. sphericum. It was then sent to Professor Barker, who identified 
it with S, Wormskioldii, with which determination Messrs. Bagnall, 
en, and Nicholson, to whom it was subsequently submitted, 
agreed, 
The Teesdale plant is conspicuous for the large size of its 
leaves, these being considerably longer and wider than in a speci- 
men collected in Lapland by Schimper, and distributed by him in 
his «Pp ugillus.” §, Wormskioldii would, however, appear to be 
very variable in the size of all its parts, there being arctic specimens 
in the National Herbarium less than half an inch in height and with 
Small leaves, and others rivalling the Teesdale one in height and 
robustness, 

The following description is for the most part a translation of 
those given by Schimper in the Bryologia Europea and in the 
Synopsis Muscorum Europaorum (ed. ii.), the italics drawing atten- 
tion to the points of greatest importance in separating S. Worms- 
kioldii from 8. sphericum, the species with which it is most nearly 
telated in vegetative structure :—

blackish-brown ; stomata numerous, in part tinged with red. Peri- 
stome-teeth rather small, subequidistant, yellow. Columella not 
exserted from the empty capsule. 

This delicate moss bears some resemblance to slender forms of 
S. sphericum, but is readily distinguished by the smaller capsules 
and more compact tufts; the leaves also differ considerably in 
outline from those of S. sphericum, being much wider at the base, 
and the apex is entire or at most faintly uneven, whilst that of 
S. sphe@ricum is generally distinctly serrulate; the nerve is usuall 


form of the peristome. All the other characters, however, such as 
the softness of all the parts of the plant, the loose tissue of the 
leaves, the form of the calyptra, and the elongation of the seta 
subsequent to the dispersal of the spores, are (in Schimper’s opinion) 
in favour of including it in the genus Splachnum. 

e peristome resembles in form that of J'etraplodon mnioides, 
except always that soon after the fall of the operculum the teeth - 
become equally distant from each other. On account of this cha- 


str - Salmon writes: “If the peristome of 7. Worms- 
kioldwi is compared with that of 8. sphericum, it will be noticed that 
the teet t rmer are much larger and more solid, have an 


entire outline, and, viewed from the inside, have a number of very 
delicate vertical and oblique lines dividing the tooth into irregularly 
sha —only 


line from the projecting plates; viewed from the inside, they are 
entirely without the vertical or oblique lines.”” On account of these 
peristome characters, Mr. Salmon

attached to submerged timbers of floating landing-stages in the 
River Severn, at Bewdley ; all the plants found here were young, 
and, although they resembled species of Fissidens, I could not make 
them agree with that genus. 

Mr. Bagnall, to whom I sent specimens, determined the plant, 
and his opinion has been confirmed by Mr. Dixon, and also by Dr. 
Braithwaite, who has long regarded this species as one very likely 
to occur in Britain. 

The impression that the plant preferred a matrix of wood led 
me to look for it in similar situations, but an examination of 


Stourport, 84 miles below Bewdley, was without result. At a dis- 
tance of about a mile below Stourport, I, however, succeeded in 
again finding the plant attached to submerged timber, and also to 
stones in the river-bed. Following up this clue, I have since

some places specimens were young, and scarcely one inch high, 
forming wide patches ; while the most developed specimens found

plants of Fontinalis, along with which it is often found; when im-

spherical tuft, which collapses on being taken from the water:

NOTES ON INDIGOFERA. 
By Davip Pray, F.L.S., anp Epmunp Baxer, F.L.S. 


Tue following notes have been made during the course of an 
examination of some of the types of the older species of Indigofera. 
The primary object of this examination was the elucidation of the 
synonymy, &c., of the ‘“ Indigo- — species,” but notes on some 
of the other species are also inclu

Rheede, in Tae pats Malabaricus, 1678-1708, vol. i. tab. 54, 
figures a plant which Linneus quotes in his synonymy of 1. tine- 
toria, and which De Candolle, in the Prodromus, ii. p, 224, places 
under his var, a macrocarpa; it is the South Indian plant which is 
I. tinetoria in the Linnean herbarium. Vol. ix. tab. 30,

The types of these are preserved in the Sloanean Herbarium in the

them, together with our identifications

the J. tinctoria of the Species Plantarum. It was apparently from

and Malaya, never has found favour among cultivators in any part

introduced to the West Indies from the East Indies; and is the 
orm of I. tinctoria figured by Sloane, t. 179, fig. 2. This makes 
it also the J. tinctoria of Lunan . Hort. Tamaicensis, in so far as 
that is based on Sloane’s figure. The specimen from which Sloane’s

rer ayivesttan orm of this species deserves to be recognized as @ 

pecies under the name J. Bergii Vatke—and we are bound to admit 
that, apart altogether from the high authority of the writers who 
have given expression to the view, there is a good deal to be said 
for it on sry eee era es will become necessary to accept 
the view of Gaertner, Lamarck, and Zollinger, that the form culti- 
vated in aethestt “Tndia a is a species apart from J. tinctoria L., to 
be known as I. suwmatrana Gaertner. The differences between these 
two cultivated plants are as salient and as constant as the differences 
between J. Bergit and either of them 

There are not in collections a large number of specimens of 
I. tinctoria from America; it does not appear ever to have been 
greatly in favour there as a source of indigo. Very few indeed of 
these specimens = edlietils to the Madras, bhihasnt all being = 
sober form of the species. Most are from the West Indies ; 
few are from Plorida pmtens of Key West); none have been soak 
municated from the continent of America. From Africa, apart 
from the wild forts in Nubia which we think probably the original 
condition of - tinctoria, cultivated examples have been communi- 
cated only from the Mascarene Islands, the Canaries and Cape de de 
Verde Seaside, ‘Siiedtbe: and from places near the coast both on the 
Mozambique and on the Angola-Senegal side. It is interesting to 
notice that practically all the specimens from Angola to Senegal 
are of oe northern form; many of the Mascarene, Mozambique, aD

The triangular aspect of the very numerous broad-based thorns, of

NOTE ON PHILONOTIS LAXA Liver. 
By H. N. Drxon, M.A., F.L.8. 


Liuprrcut described Philonotis laxa as a new species in 1893 
(Laubmoose, &c., vol. ii. p. 563), founded on specimens collected in 
r i T 


“Flowers and fruit unknown. Perhaps an aquatic form of 
marchica. Tufts very loose, flaccid, light green. Stem much 

floating, thin, weak, with few smooth radicles, 
simple or divided, never with whorled branches ; bearing deciduous 
axillary shoots in the upper part of the stem. Leaves very loosely 
set, spreading both wet and dry, not decurrent, lanceolate, sharply 
pointed, not plicate, plane at margin and with short single teeth. 
Nerve very thin, only 85 » wide, ending in or below the point. All 


four or five times as long, below 18 p wide and two to four times 
as long, here and there in upper part of lamina slightly papillose 
with the projecting cell-walls.” 


hilonotis which occur with us. Indeed it 
resembles loose forms of Amblystegium Koc 
of the fontana group, and perhaps in saying 
idea of its very great distinctness. os 
spite of these marked characters, however, I felt very suspict®.!t 

as to the specific rank of P. lava, a suspicion shared by Limpricht 


72 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 


himself, as indicated in his description. One thing was certain, 
whatever the affinities of the plant they were not with P. marchica, 


an overlooked plant in districts so well worked as the West Riding 
of Yorkshire, or those divisions of Lancashire so closely investigated 
of late by Messrs. Wheldon and Wilson. The only species open to 
question were P. calcarea and P. fontana, The former has a prima 
Jacie claim to consideration on the ground of its wide cells, and a 
still greater one from the fact that in a certain soft and slender 
form (var. mollis Vent.) it acquires a not indistinct resemblance to 
the plants under discussion. Apart, however, from some structural 
differences, the station of our British P. lawa seems quite sufficient 
to preclude such an origin. P. calcarea is one of our most dis- 
tinctly calcicolous species of moss, while P. fontana is, I believe 
quite as markedly, a calcifuge. In the case of the Crimsworth 
Dean locality, the soil is sand and peat, with no limestone near, 
nor is P. calearea found in the neighbourhood. The Chorley 
locality, Mr. Beesley believes, was probably shale or sandstone, and 
certainly the associates of the Philonotis, viz. Dicranella squarrosa, 
Mnium punctatum, &e., strongly support the supposition of its being 
non-caleareous. Neither P. fontana nor P. calcarea was found 
growing near. 

n my suggestion Mr. Needham made a careful search in the 
neighbourhood of the Crimsworth Dean locality, and found on the 
Yordale shale, within one hundred and fifty yards of the original 


station, two distinct forms of P. fontana, which threw a very 
f 


more slender branches, moreover, the nerve is decidedly narrower, 

the tissue chlorophyllose, and, in 
short, the whole character exactly that of P. laxa, except that the 
nerve 1s usually in some degree stouter, and the leaf apex very 
© proximity of these two plants, clearly referable to P. 
fontana, while at the same time exhibiting characters so unusual 
and so markedly approaching those of the aquatic or subaquatic 


SIR HENRY COLLETT 78 


P. laxa, left no doubt in my mind that the latter is a derivative 
from P. fontana, marking a still further divergence from the type, 


g 
distant-leaved shoots which are identical with P. lawa in every 
respect. The stem leaves are large, widely cordate and acuminate,

SIR HENRY COLLETT 
(1836—1901). 


By the death of Col. Sir’ Henry Collett, C.B., on Dec. 2st, 
1901, science has lost a botanist. Born in 1886, he had a dis- 
tinguished military career in India. He was severely wounded in

the degraded impure-caste half-savages of Munipoor, the Civil

Simla Club printed papers of atu —among: others: ‘‘On the

RALPH TATE 
(1840-1901). 


Raupa Tate was born at Alnwick in 1840. When only twelve 
years old he began the study of geology at the instigation of his 
uncle George Tate, the author of the ‘ Fossil Flora of the Eastern 

roads.” At the age of seventeen he obtained an exhibition of 
£80 at the School of Mines; after this he became a science teacher 
and lecturer under the Department of Science and Art, in which 
capacity he went to Belfast. Here he conducted classes in various 
branches of natural science with marked suecess, and in 1868 took 
a leading part in establishing the Belfast Naturalists’ Field Club, 
for the benefit of whose members he published, in 1868, his Flora 
Belfastiensis. This was ‘ hastily prepared,” and “ does not profess 
to be exhaustive; it is, however, original, and, notwithstanding 
several errors, it was a step in advance.”* In 1865 he spent four 
summer weeks in Shetland, and published the botanical results of 
his researches in this Journal for 1866, pp. 2-15; he distributed 
sets of his plants, the first of which is in the National Herbarium. 
Some corrections of nomenclature by H. C. Watson and Mr. Car- 
ruthers will be found on pp. 848-51. In the same volume (p. 377) 
Tate proposed a ‘* new variety” of Andromeda Polifolia, which he 
called curta, from the short peduncles; this, though based on an 
rish plant, is not referred to in Cybele Hibernica, on the first 
edition of which Tate published some notes in this Journal for 
1870 (p. 80). se 

In 1867 Tate visited Venezuela and Nicaragua as a mining 
expert; during this period he devoted his attention chiefly to 


England he became director of some mining schools in Durham. 
In 1875 he was appointed Elder Professor of Natural Science at 
the Adelaide University, a position which he occupied until his 
death on the 20th of last September. Here he at once took up a 
leading position. He was first President of the Biological Section of 
the Australasian Association for the Advancement of Science formed 
in 1888, and delivered before it an able address on “The Influence 


charge by the South Australian Government; among the plants 
collected by him in Arnhem’s Land in 1882 was the Verbenaceous 
genus Tatea, named in his honour by F. von Mueller; and he is 
also commemorated in the names of several species. In 1890 Tate

published a conveniently arranged Handbook of the Flora of Extra- 
tropical South Australia, which was noticed in this Journal for that 
year (p. 285), and in 1896 issued a Report on the Botany of the 
Horn Expedition. The Victorian Naturalist for October last, to 
which we are indebted for some of the above facts, concludes its 
notice by saying: “ We may with safety assert that his place as an 
all-round naturalist, thoroughly conversant with the flora and 
fauna, living or extinct, of his adopted land, will probably long 
remain unfilled.”’

in the above-named Report, which was issued on Aug. 8, 1901, and 
is edited by Mr. J. Walter White, the distributor for 1900.] 


Ranunculus cambricus Arth. Bennett. Root from Llyn Coron, 


where this year I also found it as forma terrestris growing on the 
margin of the lake. I first found it at Llyn Coron in July, 1875, 
when I sent specimens to Dr. Boswell Syme, who referred it to 
Ri. fluitans var. Bachii. The plant is remarkably unvarying through- 
out the lake, and the peculiar curve cf the leaflets may be noticed 
even in the mud form. No trace of floating leaves appears to be 
produced, and even in the terrestrial form the leaflets show no 
sign of coalescing. The petals are narrow, and so give a starlike 
appearance to the flowers. In the London Catalogue this plant is 


Bennett did not agree with this determination. I have sent a 
series of specimens to my friend Herr Freyn, and I hope a definite 
name may shortly be given to this interesting Batrachian.” — G.

This beautiful species grows in: one spot only in the Channel

all knowing the place well, had trouble to come on it. e com-

14th June, 1900. This seems to be quite a different station from 
the one reported by Mr. Hussey, 1886; from what the Rey. W. 
Moyle Rogers tells me, they would be nearly two miles apart. 
my Flora of Bournemouth I followed the Flora of Dorset, charac- 
terizing the species as ‘‘alien?” in the county, but, after seeing 
the plant in situ, I am satisfied that it is native, and it is easy to 
account for its having been overlooked. I send out single specimens 
rather than full sheets, in order to distribute as widely as may be 
these Dorset vouchers.— Linton.

leaflets. Burwardsley, Cheshire, 23rd July, 1900. I send this

distinguishable without difficulty from R. Newbouldii.” After seeing 


this plant in preference to R. macrostachys P, J. M., formerly sug- 


gested by me; because, after studying it side by side with your 


perfect knowledge as I hay macrustachys solely from dried 
specimens of British plants for which Dr. Focke has suggested that 
name. These last, so far as judge from dried specimens,

growing plant, in colour and facies, does not in the least recall 
fi. fuscus.—A. H. Wottry-Dop. 


fi. Bucknalli J. W. White. “Near Mordiford, Herefordshire, 
July and August, 1899. The above name was suggested for this 
plant by Rev. W. M. Rogers, after inspecting a large number of 
dried specimens. Mr. Rogers writes to me on the Mordiford plant 
as follows: ‘“ Hardly differing from R. Bucknalli J. W. White 


described as reflexed after flowering, and ‘a fructu laxe reflexis 
(My specimens show no fruit.) In the Mordiford plant they are 
erect in fruit. witho “nat 
panicle leaves which are rather frequent in the former. In stem, 
flowers, outline of panicle, ete., they seem practically identical ; 
but, of the two, your plant seems rather nearer to R. corylifolius.” 
Mr. Rogers adds: ‘*On further comparison of your plant with Mr. 
White's R. Bucknalli, I see that your stem is much less densely 
hairy tl an his, and apparently without the ‘resinous or glan 
exudation’ of which he speaks. Still, they seem too near to make

above, of which those relating to the foliage seem the more im- 
portant, are to my mind insufficient for separate recognition. I am 
glad to see this plant from Herefordshire.”—Ed. [J. W. Wurtz]. 

Chrysanthemum Parthenium Pers. Balsall Common, Warwick- 
shire, August, 1899.—H. Bromwicu. ‘A small-flowered many- 
headed variety with narrower leaves, oblong instead of the more 
usual ovate-oblong shape, and with one more pair of pinne than the 
average. It may perhaps deserve a name, such as var. micranthum, 
if not hitherto described; for though in regard to its ray-flowers it 
lies about half-way between the type and a form from Sweden 
labelled var. eradiatum, in that variety the heads appear to be few 
full-sized, and distant. I do not know Reichenbach’s var. parthent- 
folitum.”—K. F. Liyton, 


Teucrium Scordium L. In the Thames meadows above Oxford, 
on the Berkshire side of the river Thames, September, 1900. This

1780, has not been found since Sowerby’s specimen was obtained.

the same small-leaved form growing with ordinary lucens, and hay 

noticed it changing Hae Hh mare ropa and typical states such as

the same rootstock which faints SS ovalifolius M. & K., the

imperfect specimens like the present with certainty. In this group 
of Potamogetons, named as one species (P. Proteus) by Chamisso, 
the whole plant is n ecessary in many cases to enable even the most 
skilful botanist to decide between lucens and Zizii, on the one hand, 
or between Zizii and gramineus (heterophyll us) on the other. P. lucens 
has the leaves all shortly stalked, P. Zizii has some of the lower 
leaves sessile, and the upper leaves are often long-stalked ; always,

SHORT NOTES. 


So.anum Rostratum Dunal (p. 42). — This species has appeared 
as a ballast plant about Liverpool in most years between 1887 and 
1901. It has been seen by more than one observer chiefly near the 
sandhills to the north of Liverpool, and about the canal-banks at 
Aintree. This port is noted for its numerous interesting strangers, 
some of which appear rarely, and others recur in most years in the 
same places, showing that they may be becoming naturalized. In 
the forthcoming Flora of Liverpool I am including as many of these 
casuals as possible.—C. THroporE

Tue Association Internationale des Botanistes, founded last 
August at Geneva, have purchased the Botanisches Centralblatt, 
which is now continued as the organ of the Association. It appears 
weekly, and is to contain shales of all important publications on 
botanical subjects. Dr. otsy, of Leyden, the President of 
the Association, is editor-in- chief, with a very large staff of ‘‘ special 
editors” in differ ent countries. Those for England are: Miss : 
Barton (Alges), Prof. —— (Cytology), Mr. A. wate —

(Morphology), Mr. George Massee (Fungi), Dr. D. H. Beit (Palas 
ontology), and Prof. Vines (Physiology). 

Ture can be no doubt as to the utility of such a record, but 
the two numbers before us as we write suggest the ‘necessity of 
greater care in detail. For example, the date of publication of the 
papers reviewed is more often than not omitted, and the misprints 
in the English notices, both as to spelling and punctuation, a 
gest that the proofs have not been submitted to the wri ters.

to find anything new to record; we make no apology, therefore, for 
transferring these “reminiscences” to our pages, confident that 
they will be as new to our readers as they were to ourselves. The 
story, it must be owned, bears a curious resemblance to the well- 
known anecdote about Angraecum sesquipedale, and it is not easy to 
imagine a “deeply recessed” tulip with a “long floral tube.” 
Perhaps, should this reach his eye, the writer will, when next 
visiting the Entomological Department of the British Museum, 
with which he is evidently well acquainted, bring a specimen to the 
Botanical Department, where it will be welcomed as a novelty. The 
paragraph runs as follows :— 

‘‘ Who that knew of Charles Darwin's constant visits to the a 


aving a proboscis of anything like the length necessary for the 
es : a te one; 80, oath the remark that 
‘it must be at least 94 inches long,’ he set himself, with one of the 
officials, to unravel the probosces of likely insects. A great triumph! 
—at last one of the sphinges was found in the possession of a 
suctorical [sic] organ of precisely the length desired. Moreover, if 
my memory serves, the insect was tabulated as coming from t 
very locality where the tulip had been found. At any rate, the 
facts tallied so precisely that Darwin deemed the matter proved. 
But, alas! for the shortcomings of human reason. It has since 
been ascertained that the fertilisation of that particular tulip is 
effected by a certain bee, which, when it has a difficulty in crawling 


down the long floral tube, bites its way in at the base 


appearance on Jan. 28. It contains twenty-four pages, without 

illustrations, and costs 1s. 6d.; subscribers, however, will receive 

© ten numbers forming the year’s issue for 10s. The principal 

Contribution is the first part of a revision of the classification of the 
Green Algw, by Messrs. F. F. Blackman and A. G. Tansley. 

Dr. Renpir’s monograph of the Naiadacee, a recent instalment 

of Das Pflanzenreich, brings into a convenient form his researches

into the single genus of whieh the order is composed. We are glad 
nd an English botanist taking part in this important work. The 
last part of Das of iflaweewr eich, issued on Jan. 7, contains the Aceracee 
by Dr. F. Pax; 114 species are described, many of which are new. 
In the ardventd of posterity we venture to suggest the pyre 
. appending signatures to those oo gti in the Gardeners’ Chronicle 
n which new forms are described. In the number for Jan. 4 a new 
enhier of Helichrysum is described id figured, which, we are told, 
“‘may be called H. Gi wlielmt var. Meyeri,” But there i is no means 
of identifying “we’’; and, if the editor is intended, his name is 
alike absent from either the wrappers of the numbers or the title- 
pages of the volumes. We note that in the new Botanisches Central- - 
blatt Mr. Massee occasionally lifts the veil of anonymity which so 
often shrouds the contributors to the Kew Bulletin, but we can but 
think that general convenience would be served by et per an 
author’s name to every paper in which new forms are establishe

Tae Jourvat or Borany was established in 1863 - Dr. Seemann. 
= is 1872 the editorship was assumed by the late Dr. Trimen, who, — 
assisted during part of the time by Mr. J. G, Baker and Mr. Spencer 
S re, carried it on until the end of 1879, when he left England for 
Ceylon. Since then Ff has been in the hands of the present Editor. 


. Wahoat professing to occupy the vast field of general Botany, the 
Journa as from its inception filled a position which, even now, is 
covered So no other periodical. It affords a ready and proms medium 
for Psat publication of new discoveries, and appears regularly and 
a y on the 1st of each month. While more especially concerned 
oh with, Byulctiatio botany, observations of eve ry kind are wele leomed. 
_ Especial prominence has from the first been given to British botany, 
and it may safely be said that no ae of primary importance bearing 
ae upon this subject has remained unnoticed. 


_ Bibliographical matters have also received and continue to receive 
considerable attention, and the history of many obscure publications 
a iews of new and

: (Puares 481-435.) 

(Concluded from p. 23.) 


The following notes are from a plant which has been doubtfully 
referred to C. tomentosa Harvey, collected by R. Schlechter on hills, 
alt. 1700 ft. at Vuurdood, Western Region, no. 11448, 28. ix. 1897. 
We are unable to express an opinion on the suggested identification 
_ till we have examined authentic material of Harvey’s species. 


m. long. Squame emarginate at apex, rather over 1 mm. 
long. The leaves are absent. 

C. Fascrcunaris Ait. Hort. Kew. ii. p. 106 (1789). Recent 
gatherings of this plant are:—Herb. Austro-Afric., no. 1456. In 
lapidosis carroideis prope Ashton in ditione Worcester, alt. 800 ft. 
In collibus aridigs prope Brand Vley. &. Schlechter, no. 9981, 
alt. 1200 ft., 9. 1. 1896. 

The following notes are from a living specimen. Flowers not 
always pendulous, minutely papillose. Corolla dull red with green 
Pencilling, and with broad pale green bands narrowing upwar 
along the sutures of the corolla-tube. Corolla-tube straight, 
pentagonal in transverse section. Calyx-lobes thick, convex on 

ack, dull red passing into pale green below. Squame pale 
steenish yellow, laterally free. Length of open flower 22 mm., 
— length of calyx 10 mm., length of calyx-lobes 7 mm., length of 
corolla-tube 18 mm., length of corolla-lobes 18 mm. Breadth of 
Squame 8 mm., length of squame 2 mm. 

This plant is the C. frutescens, folio oblongo, &e., of Burman, 
Dec. tab. 18 (1738), and is therefore C. spuria Linn. in part, as 
this is one of the figures quoted for this species. : 

, vurman’s figure is also interesting in another connection. 
Linn, f, (Suppl. p. 242 (1781)) diagnoses his C. paniculata as 
follows :—« Cotyledon fruticosa foliis oblongo-ovatis sessilibus, pani- 
cula divaricata racemosa.” ‘It was collected at the Cape by Thunberg. 
Thunberg (Fl. Cap. 896) gives a more lengthy description of what 
18 Obviously the same plant, referring to it Burman’s figure. If C. 
Maniculata Linn. fil. and C. fascicularis be the same species, then 
the former takes precedence of publication by several ols 

C. Eoxnontana Hary. Fl. Cap. ii. p. 817. In Harvey's herbarium 
there is a plant which has been doubtfully referred to this species 
from Rev. H. Whitehead, Namaqualand. It agrees with Harvey’s 
description, It is quite distinct from C. fascicularis Ait., and is 
closely related to C. Wallichii Hary., but in this latter plant the

«A NEW HYBRID GRASS.” 
By G. Cuarinoce Druce, M.A., F.L.S. 


On p. 41 the Rev. E. F. Linton published a note under the 
above title on a grass found by him, which had been distributed 
through the Botanical Exchange Club when I was editor of the 
report for 1900. The grass was sent to me bearing a printed label— 

‘Ex herb. E. F. Linton. 
Bromus commutatus Schrad. x Loliwm perenne L., hybr. nov- 
Avon meadows, near Barton, 8. Hants. 
Legitipse. 9th July, 1900.” 


form of Lolium perenne L., and I sent specimens to Professor Hackel, 
strongly querying the combination made by the Rev. E. F. L nton. 
as in answer to this that Prof. Hackel stated that he identified 
the specimen as Lolium perenne L. var. spherostachyum Masters 
Journ. Bot. 1863, p. Dr. Masters, J.c., in his interesting pape? 
which the Rev. E. F. Linton does not allude to, shows that this 


the arrangement of the florets, so that ‘‘in place of being flattened 
and somewhat pointed at its free end, it becomes in this variety 
almost spherical, hence this variety might be called var. sper? 
stachyum. It may exist independently of any other change, but 


‘¢, NEW HYBRID GRASS” 109 


more frequently it is combined with partial or complete obliteration 
of the stamens and pistils, and the substitution for these organs of 
an equivalent or an increase — er of scales. For three years 
in succession I have noticed plants affected with this variation or 
deformity, in the same locality, interning with specimens of the 
usual appearance.’ The scales in specimens of this variety may 
be derived from the palew or from the base of the stigmata, and 
their duplication, as in the flowers of Galanthus, cause the inflor- 
escence to become more or less spherical. 

It is only fair to say that at the date, a when Dr, Masters 
wrote his interesting paper, in which and other forms are 
described—and I may also refer to another pee on Lolium perenne 
by him, which appeared in the Journal of the Linnean Society, vii., 
pp. 120-124—the occurrence of hybrids in the vegetable kingdom 
was 2 byieae Seite in Britain as they are at the present day. 
Still, not think even now that Dr. Masters would claim a 
hybrid origin for his variety. Pr obably it was considered to be a 
monstrous form by the various editors of the London Catalogue, as 
it is omitted from the various editions with which I am cognisant, 

and Dr. Boswell Syme, in Eng. a xi. p. 186, says: ‘monstrosities 
of the spike are not unfrequent . . . sometimes the florets are 
fasciculate within the glumes, sr in this are frequently inflated 
and “eed sp so as to be ovoid, and sometimes shorter than 
the glum 

The F Rev KE. F. Linton, however, suggests that, aa ~ 
disputing Prof. Hackel’s identification of the Avon plan 

asters’s variety, yet that both the Avon plant and the td sere 
Rateruns owe their peculiarities to their hybrid origin, and that 

while “ Lolium perenne was the obvious constituent, Bromus commu- 
tatus Li. [sic], which was present in abundance, would account for 
the differences in this puzzling grass.’ 

In order to get a definite opinion on this point, I wrote to Prof. 
aaa who replies: ‘I remember that it was a true Lolium, and 

a hybr rid with Bromus; I believe that the crossing of Lolium 
ne Bromus is totally impossible ; these two genera are much more 
distant than Lolium and Festuca, especially in the structure of the 
fruits, their starch-grains, &c. 

One can scarcely expect uniformity of opinion respecting many 
forms of pe and oe speculative ad as to parents of

1900-1901. 


[Tue following notes are exatnontt from the Report of the 
Watson Botanical. paeanee Club for 1900-1, which was issued 
in August last. Messrs. K. S. and 6. E, Salmon were distributors 
for the year; the core of =. Club is Mr. H. S. Thompson, of 
80, Waterloo Street, Birmingham.] 

Lepidium ruderale L. Dry Mo Aylestone, eset Aug. 
1900. This, a few years ago, w found in one locality ; now 
it has bavome more plentiful in aa locality, and a cat one is 
recorded on the opposite side of the town.—W. Bell. Correct. 
This rapid spreading of L. ruderale is occurring in many of the 
larger towns. About London it is already one of the commonest 
waste-ground weeds.—S. T. D[unn 

Silene conica L. Near Barketene, Dorset, June 14, 1900. This 
plant, hitherto queried as an alien for the county, appears to me on 
investigation to be thoroughly native; for, though the area in which 
I saw the plant is very restricted, it is a perfectly natural one, and 
the Rev. W. Moyle Rogers tells me that it is nearer two miles than 
one distant from that reported by Mr. Hussey in 1886. —

The small-flowered Malvas of North Europe have been much 
confused. Linneus (Fl. ae. Sah, 248) under M. rotundifolia 
writes : pud nos flor muniter minores, corolla omnino 
alba ; Sisathalinie ropa aol majore purpurascente obvia 
te isti_apud exteros.” It thus appears that he included 

n 


and ‘about equal to the calyx. Most English botanists mean b 
M. rotundifolia Linnzus’s aces after M. borealis Wallm. (M. pu- 
silla Sm.) has been removed. But in Koch’s Synopsis, ed. 3, 1. 
418, and elsewhere, M. neglecta Wallr. is kept up, while 1. rotundi- 
folia L. refers only to smaller-flowered plants (M. borealis Wallm.). 
M. parviflora L. is readily separable by its enlarged fruiting calyx, 

and M. nicaensis by its broad outer calyx-segments. All the plants 
submitted to me are M. borealis Wallm.—8. T. Rae 


is now abundant there. Five or six years ago it was voreat in &

planation of its appearance eerste ; no one in the istrict has 
a botanical garden.—D. T. Playfair 


WATSON BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB REPORT 111 


Sedum album L. vay. teretifolium Haw. Fishergate Cliffs, West 
Sussex, July, 1900.—T. Hilton. Correct. This seems like a native 
habitat, but the matter can only be decided locally. The species is 
a widely distributed native of the Continent, on rocks and stony 
ground, reaching as far as Normandy. It is also considered by 
Murray to be indigenous in a few localities in the Mendip Hills of 
Somerset.—S. T. D[unn]. 


Galium anglicum Huds. Between Seaford and Berwick, East 
Sussex, July, 1900. The occurrence of this species in the county 
is queried in Top. Bot., and the plant does not appear in Arnold’s 
Sussex Flora. First discovered here by the Rey. EK. Ellman. 


Inula britannica Iu. Shore of Cropston Reservoir, Leicester, 
Aug. 1, 1900. This plant, a native of Germany, first appeared at 
Cropston in 1894, when it was noticed by the Rev. T. A. Preston. 
It is now quite naturalized on the margin of the reservoir, and has 
increased in luxuriance. Probably introduced here by water-fowl. 
See B. E.C. Reports, 1894, p. 451, and 1895, p. 485.—T. A. Preston 
and A. B. Jackson. 

Matricaria discoidea LL. Casual, waste ground, Birkenhead, 
Liverpool, y.-c. 58, June 17, 1900.—J. A. Wheldon and A. B. . 
Jackson. Correct. Usually, as in this case, in waste ground, but 
occasionally well established in open turf, as on Kew Green. Where 
a footing has once been gained, it seems to spread rapidly to any 
dry newly-broken ground in the neighbourhood.—S. T. Dunn. 


Symphytum officinale L. var. patens (Sibth.). River Ksk, Mid- 
lothian, June 5, 1900. Colour variety of the type conforming to 
Sibthorp’s description in Fl. Oxon.—F. C. Crawford. As Mr. J. W. 
White has pointed out in Journ. Bot. 1900, p. 279, the figure in 

ng. Bot. ed. 8, does not represent Sibthorp’s patens. Prof. I. 
Bayley Balfour remarks as follows: ‘‘The a . 
from one of the stations mentioned by Boswell Syme whence he 


character he gives is one derived from the calyx. 1s 
always have called patens here, and which, I take, it poewer PYMS

probable that spleale is the fit which is essentially that 2 Sat en

Rumex ——. By lake, Hawkesyard, Staffordshire, Aug. 1900. 
This Dock is very like conglomeratus, but pedicel-joints are very low 
down, as in sanguineus.— H. P. Reader. This Dock is intermediate, 
as Mr. Reader states, between conglomeratus and sanguineus. I have 
compared it with authentic material of R. conglomeratus var. Borrert 
imen in Journ. Bot. xiv. p. 810, a plant coming from burgess 
Hill, described as intermediate between nemorosus and conglomeratus, 
but the whorls in var. Borreri are more leafless, and it is muc 
more strongly trituberculate. It therefore does not agree with this 
variety. The only other British named variety of conglomeratus 
with which I am acquainted is var. subsimplex Trimen in J 


to which he has given the name R. Ruhmeri:

erecto-patent short branches, whose few-flowered whorls are leafy

developed, but for the most part empty. I observed similar forms 
also on the Ettersberg. On account of such forms a 

the two species were previously united by many botanists.” I doubt 
Mr. Reader’s plant being either of the forms of the hybrid—the 
fruit is too good for one thing. It is a very interesting plant, an 
I very much doubt if there is a published name that will exactly 
fit it—E. G. Baker. 

Cyperus fuscus L. Peaty valley below Weston-in-Gordano, 
North Somerset, Sept. 27, 1900.—J. W. White. A beautiful series 
of the plant from North Somerset, from which county it was re- 
corded in Journ. Bot. 1900, p. 446. These specimens are unusually 
tall and fine; similarly luxuriant plants, however, occur in the Kew 
Herbarium, labelled ‘‘ Hillbrook Meadow, Little Chelsea. Coll.

by it identically the Scirpus cernuus of Vahl, which Kunth himself

The present specimens are correctly named.—S. T. Dunn. 


Azolla caroliniana Willd. Alien. Introduced probably from 
Canada. On pond in private grounds, Hayes Place, Kent, July, 
1900. This made its appearance in the autumn of 1899 as a few 


early summer it had entirely covered the surface of the water with a 
beautiful thick moss-like carpet varying in tint from a bright green to 
a distinct red. . . . Apparently the first record of its naturalization 
in Europe. It is an annual cryptogam, whose megaspores float at 
the time of fertilization, and are firmly attached to other floating 
matter by means of the barbed hairs on the massule. There can be 
little doubt that their adhesion to*the water-lilies, mentioned by the 
contributor as imported from Canada and grown in the same pond, 
was the means of their introduction.—S. T. Dunn. ee 

[Mr. Dunn has overlooked the account of the naturalization of 
Azolla in a garden pond at Ashford, Co. Wicklow, published in this 
Journal for 1898, p. 249.—Eb. Journ. Bor.]

each of them appear in the Phytologist between 1851 and 
54, 


114 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 


It was not, however, until 1868 that Alfred definitely devoted 
himself to botany. For ten years before this he had been a publisher 
in Bishopsgate Street; he was the first to use photography in book- 
illustration, and introduced to the public various minor poets, in- 
cluding one who takes a front rank among them, if indeed he cannot 
claim a higher place—the late Lord De Tabley. In the same year 
he joined the Linnean Society; he had taken his M.A. degree at 
the London University about 1856, and later his B.Sc. From this 

took an active part in botanical work in this country: he 

was a frequent attendant, up to his death, at the meetings of the 
Linnean and Royal Microscopical Societies, and at the gatherings 
of the British Association; and contributed papers to the proceedings 
of each of these bodies. He was also for many years Lecturer on 
Botany at St. Thomas’s Hospital and at Bedford College. 

ennett’s contributions to botanical literature were considerable. 
Many papers which appeared in the publications of the above-name 
Societies stand under his name in the Royal Society’s Catalogue of 
Scientific Papers; others appeared at intervals in this Journal, to the 
first volume of which he contributed; and some, more popular, in the 
Popular Science Review. e was at one time biological sub-editor 
for Nature, for many years botanical reviewer for the Academy, and 
up to the time of his death principal editor of the Royal Micro- 
scopical Society’s Journal. He also published numerous articles 
on the subject of fertilization. 

ennett’s contributions to systematic work were fairly numerous. 
He monographed the Hydroleacee (on which he had earlier published 
a memoir), Pedalinee@, and Polygalacee for Martius’s Hlora Brasili- 


similar paper on those of Surrey in the volume for 1902. 

His most important work in the way of text-books was the 
English version of Sachs’s Lehrbuch der Botanik ; this he translated 
and edited for the Clarendon Press in 1875, with some assistance 
from Mr. W. T. T. (afterwards Sir W. Thiselton-) Dyer. In 1877 
he performed a similar office for Thomé’s Textbook; this trans- 
lation went through several editions: he also helped Dr. Masters 
with the fourth edition (1884) of Henfrey’s Klementary Course. 

In 1889, in conjunction with Mr. George Murray, Bennett pro- 
duced A Handbook of Cryptogamie Botany, of which the longest 
review that ever appeared in our pages was contributed by the late 
Perey Myles to this Journal for the same year. Bennett undertook 
the Vascular Cryptogams, Mosses, Algw, and Schizophycee. 

Tn 1886 Bennett issued he Tourist’s Guide to the Flora of the 
Alps—an English version of Dalla Torre’s book on the subject 
He had previously prepared a translation of Seboth’s Alpine Plants 
painted from Nature, a book useful mainly on account of its illus- 
trations; and in 1896 he published The Flora of the Alps, for the 
pictures of which no good word can be said. This is, indeed, the 
least satisfactory of Bennett’s works, although it was honoured

by long notices, as eulogistic as they were ill-informed, in the Times 
and other newspapers; a more accurate estimate from a botanical 
standpoint will be found in this Journal for 1896, p. 325. 

Mr. Bennett’s death, from heart-disease, occurred with startling 
suddenness on the 28th of January. He was proceeding home on 


of which body, like so many of our botanists, he was a member, 


SHORT NOTES. 


SreLiaRtA umBRosA Opitz.—This species has not, so far as Iam 
aware, been recorded for Montgomeryshire. It was found in some 
quantity by Miss E. Foulkes Jones, on a hedge-bank, Forden Road, 
Montgomery, early in May, 1896. Specimens with ripe seeds 
gathered three weeks later left no doubt as to the specific identity 
of the plant. The naming has been confirmed by Mr. Arthur 
Bennett.— Witi1am WHITWELL. .

In September, 1900, while botanizing at Honiley, Warwickshire, 
I came across this prickly Solanwn among rubbish near & dilapidated

Tur readers of the Journal of Botany are familiar with the 
a ph of the work which is so energetically carried on by 
M. Legré, the earlier issues of these publications having been 
poviawed | in 1899, pp. 88-92, 283; 1900, pp. 43-45. The three 
works named at the head of this article show that the author is 
continuing his enthusiastic researches into the botanic history of 
Provence. 

The first book on our list is of Coe recent date. Pehr 
Forskal, on his eastern journey which w end in his death at 
Jerim in 1768, touched at Marseilles, cae hile waiting for an

The account must be as a aona talk to a native of the South of 
France as Kalm’s statements as to the botany of England in 1748, 

when he was on his way to North America, are to English people. 

It may be mentioned in passing, that Linneus seems to have tried 
to preserve the pronunciation of his pupil’s name when establishing 
the genus Forskohlea in 1767, by varying the second vowel of 
Forskal’s name, 

The next work on our list again brings before us the name of 
Pierre Pena, which has been previously rescued by the author from 
the almost complete oblivion into which it had fallen; and also in- 
troduces Nicholas Claude Fabri de Peiresce, the antiquarian, philo- 
logist, and naturalist, whose sear have lately been published 
under the editorial care of M. Tamizey de Larroque in a series of 
volumes. Letters which passed ar hach Clusius—then finally 
settled at Leyden—and vhsigee show not only that Pena was the 
actual discoverer of Styrax officinalis in Provence, but confirm 
several statements sativa to the authorship of certain Rae in

In looking over the papers of elementary students of botany, one is 
often im d with certai kable statements, which can hardly 
be the result of imagination on the part of the examinee. Books 
like Mr. Browne’s Elements of Botany help to explain the origin 
of some of these wonderful answers. It is very sad to think that 
such a book can reach a fifth edition: and therefore presumably 
flourish, and that, too, under the xgis of an inspector of schools. 
Like many another book, “not written on the lines of any examina- 
tion course, it will be found to meet fully the requirements ”’ of the 
Science and Art Department in Great Britain, the matriculation 
course of the University of London, and other examinations. Much 
of the subject-matter is as good as that of other books which by a 
happy coincidence manage to hit the lines of certain popular exami-

than quantitative. 

The method of work is one of question and answer. After a

before the student, who himself works out the answer 1n the experl- 
ment, the description of which follows the statement of the question,

In Professor Green’s book we have the completion of the second 
edition of the Manual of Botany which appeared about six years 
ago as a re-issue in a more modern form of the late Professor 
Bentley’s Manual. The only important alteration, but that a some- 
what extensive one, has been the re-writing of the section on the

aps is the case, but it impresses the student less with the 

important characters of the group. We think it would have been 

better to have retained, in a shortened form, the diagnosis, and = 
as 


those less important orders, of which a student is never likely to 
see specimens, and which, moreover, are not necessary to an 
understanding of the main features of the system. The author has 
already gone some way in this direction by paying more attention 
to British orders, and introducing discussion on the morphology of 
the flower in particular ones; and we hope that in a subsequent 
edition he will proceed further. 5 
It is practically impossible to get a text-book up to date, and it 

is extremely difficult to avoid slips where every page, as is especially 
the case in a systematic account, is crammed with facts; and we 
have not made it our business to hunt for examples of this kind. 
e must, however, remind Prof. Green that his account of the 


secondary fertilization in Angiosperms, which, whatever it ma 
mean, helps towards the understanding of the two parallel sets. of 
developments which result from the union of the male cells wit 
the female gametophyte.

Tuts well-printed work, which is designed as an “aid to the 
determination of the Genera of European Flowering-plants,” is 
certainly cheap at the money; though, as it is written wholly in 
German, its circle of English readers is likely to be but small. 
Iceland and the Azores are included; the Ural and Caucasus 
ranges being taken as the eastern limit.

Pritzel and Jessen’s Deutsche Volksnamen der Pflanzen and Garcke 8 
Flora von Deutschland are taken as the standard authorities for 
* popular” names. tas 

Part I. contains a key for the determination of the orders ; 
Part II. deals in like manner with the genera. The arrangement 
adopted differs widely from that of our standard British floras and 
of Nyman’s Conspectus ; it will be sufficiently indicated by its main 
divisions :—Class I. Conifere; Class Il. Gnetales; Class 
Monocotyledonea (Typhacee to Orehidacea); Class IV. Dicotyledonee ; 
Sub-class A. Archichlamydee (Salicacee to Cornacea) ; Sub-class B. 
Metachlamydee@ (Pirolacee to Composite). 

Both the ordinal and the generic characters appear to be very 
well treated ; the descriptions are sufficiently full, without being at

Dr. D. H. Scorr on the same occasion gave an ie a (illus- 
trated by ‘lantern- -slides) of ‘‘An Extinct Family of Ferns "—the 
Botryopteridea, our knowledge of which is primarily due t o the 
researches of M. Renault. The vegetative organs and iestatie ia of 

e type-genus Botryopteris were described, and two British Paleo- 
zoic species, B. hirsuta Will. and B. ramosa Will., were added to the 
genus on the ground of rec anatomical structure. The genus 
4ygopteris, also known with some degree of ¢ ompleteness, was next 
dealt with, and the structure of ‘the ‘British ipa 4. Grayi Will. 
described in some detail. Reasons were given for including other 
genera, such Anachoropteris, Asterochlena, and Tubicaulis, in the 
family, while sa connection with Diplolabis and Corynepteris 
was also sepiniod's s probable. The affinities of the group were 
discussed in conclusion, points of pe aie with Hymenophyllacea, 
Osmundacea, Ophioglossacee, and other families of Ferns eing 
pointed out. Heteros ospory, pelioved by M. Renault to exist in 
Botryopterts and Zygopteris, was not regarded as established, and 
affinities were sought rather among homosporous Filices. 

. Lorrain Suirx publishes in the Journal of the Royal 
Microscopical Society an interesting; spaper on ‘« Fungi found on farm 
seeds when tested for germination.” The paper, which is accom- 

anied by an excellent plate, wages the description of a new 
genus, Stemphyliopsis and of two new species—Langloisula hetero- 
spora and Rhizopus umbellatus : toasiinedi and slides of these have

rules, if any, scoala the inclusion of papers or the length of the 

notices, many of which are extremely disproportionate. There does 

not appear to be any system as to the dates of the papers quoted ; 
thus no. 2 cites contributions from pp. 289-889 of this Journal for 
1901, while one of the papers in no. 7 is from pp. 140-143. W

inspection of the list of their recorded stations. This is especially 
the case with the Myzophycee, the microscopic species, and those 
which were formerly regarded as merely varieties of some other 
species. et 

With regard to the nomenclature, I have tried to bring it more 
into accord with that adopted by all algologists on the Continent of 


ment, without stating to which of the three editions of that work, 
which had then appeared, they refer; on the other hand, Stack- 
house’s Nereis is treated as if none of it had appeared before 1801 
(the date of the completed work), whereas in reality it was pub- 
lished in three parts, which were respectively issued in 1795, 1797, 
and 1801. Similar instances might be given to almost any extent. 
Later authors followed the lead of the earlier ones, and now, when 
date of publication is of such importance in matters of nomen- 
clature, the practice has given rise to much confusion.

BRITISH CAPREOLATE FUMARIAS. —

THE BRITISH CAPREOLATE FUMITORIES. 
By H. W. Puastzy, B.A. 
(Puate 486.) 


In the summer of 1898, while enjoying a holiday in Devonshire, 
I collected a number of Fumitories, which upon my return to town 


by Mr. E. G. Baker and by Mr. C. R. P. Andre 
for British botany, has now left this country—I find that great dis- 


P 
have originated from errors on the part of one or two of our botanists 
who can only have fallen into them ¢} “baree pee ; 


and, perhaps, overmuch zeal in identifying 
British specimens with forms already described abroad. 


to the conditions under which they grow. Speaking generally, 
examples seen early in the year have larger and more highly 
coloured flowers than later ones found during the hot weather of 
summer or in the autumn.’ A ng the plants that grow in open, 
breezy fallows a short and branchy habit prevails, with spare foliage 
and flowers finer and deeper in hue than those of the same species 
found on the lax, straggling plants with ample — that flourish 
8 


Succeed them, and at times the difference between the earliest 
and latest flowers on the same plant is remarkable, in dry weather 
particularly, the latter being less than half the size of the former 


sider primarily the fruit and the sepals, which in all conditions, 
th wild and under cultivation, seem to uniformly maintain their 
characteristic features, 
Jougnat or Botany.—Vou, 40. [Apriz, 1902.] - 


130 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 


A further practical difficulty is that characters which are un- 
mistakable in the living plants may become very o obscure indeed in 
e Fumitories of the herbarium. This applies especially to the 
base or ‘‘neck” of the fruit; to the form of the outer petals; and 
sometimes to the curving of the pedicels. It unfortunately happens, 
too, that in the dried plants the flowers and fruits very readily fall 
away, and this to such an extent that in some of the older type- 
specimens that I have seen, no vestige either of any part of the 
flower or of the fruit remains. 
aving thus briefly pointed out what seem to be the chief 
difficulties in examining these neglected plants, I will endeavour 
to indicate and account for some of the differences between our 
views of the various species and those of our neighbours across the 
annel. 
In the ninth edition of — London Catalogue the Capreolate 
Fumitories stand as follows,

two latter works I’. Borei is reduced to the rank at a variety - 
of F’, pallidiflora (which Hooker calls F. capreolata L.), and in 
the Student’s Flora F. confusa and F. muralis are treated as sub- 
species only. 

Turning to the arrangement given by recent continental authors, 
I find in Nicotra’s monograph, 1897 :—

rst name in the London Catalogue, F. PALLIDIFLORA Jord., 

which was introduced by Babington in 1859 in place of the Linnean 

name of F’. capreolata, is associated with a well-marked and beautiful 


authentic record of F. speciosa occurring in Britain, but a careful 
examination of the specimens collected by Mr. Andrews in Guernsey 


f 
that name. These plants strongly resemble F. pallidiflora, but are 
characterized by the smallness and comparative rotundity of their 
ruits, even in luxuriant specimens; by the sepals being shorter and 
more entire than in the British examples of /, pallidiflora

the following extract from M. Jordan’s original diagnosis of the 
former plant :—<« s obtusis

character (Spec. 985), would have included under his name such 
plants as F’. speciosa and also F’. pallidiflora. And, so far as lam 
aware, both forms were included under it until 1849, when Jordan 
segregated his F’. speciosa, retaining the Linnean name for the other 
form till 1854, when, considering it a source of confusion, he pro- 
posed to drop it in favour of LF’. pallidiflora (F. Schultz, pap 


to F’. pallidiflora, if that plant is regarded as distinct from I’. spe- 
ciosa ; and as recent authors have united them as varieties of one 
species, and Jordan himself admits that they are very closely allied, 
there would seem to be every reason for abandoning I’. pallidiflora as 


a luxuriant form of the other. On the other hand, the differences 
indicated by Jordan appear to be of a more permanent nature, and 
not such as owe their origin to surrounding conditions; and, as 
they seem quite recognizable in the few authentic French specimens 
that I have examined, I regard F’. speciosa and F. pallidiflora as 
worthy of more than merely varietal distinction, and therefore rank 
them as subspecies of the Linnean F’. capreolata. 

Coming to the second name in the London Catalogue, F. Borat 
Jordan, I find that this species was originally described by the 


detail. He writes :—

acutis, circumecircd inequaliter, et crebrd inciso-dentatis, . . + -

particulars. The habit of growth is much stronger, and the flowers

ink it is evident that the plant described by Jordan (the 
typical F’, Borai) is an ally of F. muralis Sond., and characterized 
by straight fruiting pedicels, large flowers, and very obtuse fruits 
narrowed below to an inconspicuous neck. I will therefore turn 
to the description of F. Borat by British authors, which I shall 
eres to show refers to a different plant, allied to F’. capreo- 
ata i

Babing ton further mentions as one of its most conspia 
characters ‘‘the base or ‘neck’ of the fruit,’ which is ‘‘very n 

and nearly as long as broad, forming a kind of stalk: to the frat, - 
d is ‘‘more conspicuous in F’. Borei than in Ff. pallidiflora.” In 
continuation, he observes: ‘“ The fruit = my plant (without its 
base) seems to be always broader than long, and is remarkable for

of its base, oe in pe to that of /’. officinalis L., but less

to certainly represent F'. Bor they are shown as somewhat

that were evidently different and in accord with the description given 
in English Botany. Among the latter is a well-preserved specimen 
labelled as collected in Fifeshire in 1871 by J. Boswell-Syme. 

The plants of this latter class can be distinguished without 
much difficulty not only from F’. Borei Jord., but from F. capreo- 
lata L. They may be regarded as intermediate between these two 
plants, but undoubtedly are more nearly related to the latter, 
which they resemble in their ‘“ necked” fruits, and recurved fruit- 
stalks, as well as in their large sepals and long bracts. But their 
fruits are not only broader, but also less smooth when dry; an 
the curving of the pedicels is sufficiently distinct, as pointed out in 
English Botany. The corolla, under similar conditions, is a little 
smaller than in F’, capreolata, with the upper petal rather more 
broadly winged, though less so than in good flowers of F’. Borei

In many, possibly all, of these localities, not only F’. capreolata, 
but also F’, Borai are likewise to be fo und, and in view of this it 
may be suggested that F’. purpurea is a hybrid between them. 
so, the uniformity of its characters in its various habitats and the

have been maintained oll ge i least two generations. Among 
the many wild Fumitories that I have examined one specimen only 
appears to me to be ets a —— plant sent from Guernsey 
which I should label F’. Borai x officinalis. In this instance, the 
owers were intermediate bobire een those of the supposed parent 
forms, while all of the fruits remained quite undeveloped.

Before discussing the pebutice: of recognizing the older name, 
it will be more ah vmae to deal with the treatment accorded to 
I. Anil by De Can He recognizes three varieties :—

bus arcuatis. Sloane, Jam. t. 196, i. a. ne Ill. t. 626 aches

n so far as this variety is based on Sloane’s fae and descrip- 
tion, there is no room for doubt, for the type from which the 
drawing is made is present in the ‘Sloane Herbarium. The plant 


Nn ‘ 
nearly allied to I. Anil, it is perhaps better treated as ‘distinct. 
But, while this is the case, it has to be remembered that on the 
same sheet with two eat prahe of this rere a oligophylla there is 
glued down a specimen of the cultivated form of I. Anil B polyphylla 
DC. (which is J, tinctoria Miller, not of Linn, nor of Forsk.), and on 
the next sheet is an example of the wild form of I. Anil B polyphylia 
DC. (which is J. suffruticosa Miller, I. Anil L., and J. Guatimala 
Lunan). _ Sloane has marked ‘ precedentis ‘varietas.” 

w we turn to the Prodromus Herbarium, we find that 
the svitiinl which has been placed in the cover r of J. dnil consists 
of two specimens—(1) a specimen collected by Bory St. Vincent, 
locality not noted, which is actu ually = = a oligophylia, i.e. is I. tr wail.

to give place to that of J. Anil L. (i.e. I. suffruticusu Miller). It 
will be seen, however, from the following reference in Sloane (Cat. 
Plant. p. 142 (1696)), to the plant subsequently figured in Nat. 
Hist. Jam. t. 176, fig. 8 (which we consider to be J. truzillensis 

B.K.), that even in Sloane’s time a good deal of obscurity 
existed as to the original source of American indigo :— 

‘“‘Coluter affinis fruticosa argentea, floribus spicatis e viridi

not the ‘‘ Wild Indigo called Guatimala”’ of Petiver.

I. Anil of Linneus and 1. suffruticosa of Miller, which are the 
same thing, are 6 polyphyila DC. ; but De Candolle’s variety includes 
besides these the I. tinctoria of Miller, not of Linneus, which is the 
cultivated form of the same species. It is, as a rule, inadvisable to 
supplant a name that has become so familiar in usage as the name 
I. Anil by one that happens to be a little older, but that has been

this, and its numerous gemme (or winterbuds) are two of its most

thing like such abundance are P. gemmiparus Morong (Bot. Gaz.

gathered and sent to me by M. Foucaud in August, 1889. This 
latter has them almost as large and abundant as the American 
_ plant I am now naming. I propose the name P. strictifolius for 
this species; last year I did not sufficiently recognize the marked 
features that make this stand apart from the numerous forms of the 
pusillus group. It has certainly a likeness to rutilus in habit and 


stipules, but it differs widely in that the lower stems are much 
l ius. The U.S.A 


plant is not in fruit, but the spikes and flowers are sufficiently 
advanced to see they correspond with the Canadian (Lake Scugog) 
plant, which is in good fruit.

150 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 


ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF RUBI IN GREAT BRITAIN. 
By tue Rev. W. Movie Rocers, F.L.S. 


So much steady work has been done lately in tracing the distri- 
bution of Rubi in most parts of Great Britain, that the time seems 
come when we may profitably examine and to some extent tabulate 
the results achieved. For the present it seems best not to include 
Ireland and the Channel Islands in the review. R. ideus may also 
be ee out of general consideration, as, though it has long been 

wn to occur in all the British vice-counties except two (West 
Gorrisrali and Pembroke, from neither of which is it likely to be 
ake it seems impossible to ascertain now how often its presence 

e due either to the immediate neighbourhood of gardens or 
25S pserean ton of birds. 

Probably nearly three- poe of the 112 Watsonian vice-counties 
have now been fairly well explored by batologists. In some of them 
the number of the forms Sane is not likely to be greatly ineraaae 
by further research. But in a few only, and those all in the south 
and middle of England and Wades can the bramble flora be said to 
have been at all exhaustively ascertained. 

On the other hand, there are no less than 83 vice- counties which

Of these 88 vice-counties in Great Britain with less than 10 dis-

Rubi each is but 14. These 14 vice-counties average not quite

For the whole 41 Scottish vice-counties the average number of 
forms at present known with certainty is only slightly in excess 
of 10. Further research will probably increase these numbers in 
every case, and ultimately perhaps bring up the average for the 
South and Mid Scotland counties to about 20, or possibly even 25 
distinct forms. But the low record for all the northern isles, and 


more abundant in Scotland than in either England or Wales.

Many of these are no doubt more or less local; but they are

in one v.-c. each; but over one-third of the are 104 are found 
in more than 10 v.-c.’s, and 19 of them in from 15 to 20 v.-c.’

are—R. durescens, mercicus, orthoclados, macranthelos, Lejeunet,

these, one, R. mercicus (once locally abundant near Birmingham), 
now seems in danger of extinction; while three more, macranthelos, 
Lejeunei, and tereticaulis, though all occurring in more than one

J, ATLANTICA See in Beitriige zur Lebermoosflora Norvegens, 
1898. Dirlot, Caithness, 20.8.1901, gathered by the Rev. David 
Lillie, Watten. Confirmed by Herr Kaalaas, who writes of this 
plant: ‘Ido not hesitate to declare it to be my Jung. atlantica, 
though it exhibits some differences from the original plant, but I 
think they are only slight. The lobes of the leaves in the Scottish 
plant are mostly three in number, and often more obtuse than in 
my original; but in other respects I cannot find any difference.” 
In his ‘‘ Beitriige” a doubt is expressed whether this plant be a 
distinct species or a variety of J. gracilis; and in a letter received 
last year, this doubt was again mentioned. It differs from 
J. gracilis in the absence of any attenuated stems, and its distribu- 
tion as far as known is entirely western. In Norway it has been 
found near Stavanger and on the island of Stirdo, and it has also 
been found on the Faroé Isles by Herr C. Jensen. The leaves 
are, very Seedy only 2-lobed, 2 are sed concave, the plant 
having a good déal the appearance of J. sawicola. J. atlantica is 

one of several interesting plants found in Caithness by Mr. Lillie.

loicous, as with A. pinguis, but is more closely Bare to A. 
multifida and A. sinuata according to Prof. Schifiner. The calyptra 
is very rough; the frond varies from bei ing ‘nearly simple to much 
branched and is channelled, semilunar in section, and five cells 
thick, the outer cells of the dorsal side being almost as large as the 
inner cells. The main stem has a one-celled margin, which is 
more distinct on the branches when it is one to two cells broad.

Journal of Botany for July last. I believe it to be a timely pre- 
sentation, and I hope that it may call the attention of certain 
editors to things which they have not thought of. The fact is, 
many editors of botanical periodicals have not had any training in 
form in printing. Incidentally 1 wish also to call your attention to 
the custom of the Botanical Gazette in reference to the dates of issue. 
You rightly said that our date is on the first page of the advertise- 
ments, and disappears in the bound volume. You did not happen 
to catch the fact that in order to avoid this disappearance we print 
the list of dates of publication at the end of the ‘‘ Table of Con- 
tents” of each volume, so that it may be permanent. Perhaps this 
is not the best way, but I thought that you ought to know that we 
have done something in the way of making the record of dates a 
permanent one.—Joun M. Counter.

e first thing that strikes us about the initial instalment of 

the oe needed Supplement to the Kew Index is at inadequacy 
of the information supplied by its cover. This giv Srp price, 
date, nor place of publication ; indeed, there is no rice e that it 
has been published. But as a copy was received in the Depastnen 
of Botany through a bookseller on the 11th of February, i y b 
assumed that it was issued to the trade a little before iat viaeiet 
and the circular which was sent out in advance of publication tells 
us that the Supplement will be issued in four parts, at the sub- 
scription price of 54 francs, post free, ve re it may be obtained 
from M. Durand at the Brussels Botanic

undertaken by monographers, except in so far as they come in the 
natural course of a more limited investigation. 

t is to be regretted that, owing to the inaccuracy of the dates 
persistently given by certain periodicals as those of issue, plants 
are included in this Supplement which have no claim to a place 
therein. When, in 1896 (p. 169), we gave the first of the lists 
showing the actual dates of the publication of the Kew Bulletin, 
since continued on the completion of each volume, we pointed out 
that the number dated December, 1895, “was not issued until 
January, 1896, and that the new species it contained would pro- 
bably be included in any list of novelties for 1895.” This has now 
actually happened, for we find cited in the Supplement from this 
very number Conyza cylindrica and C. stenodonta of Baker, and 
Caralluma arabica N. E. Br.—plants which were not published within 
the decade, and should not be included in the volume. ul 
suggest to the compilers the advisability of consulting the lists of 
dates for the Bulletin already given in these pages; as it may be 
convenient for others to note them, we give the references :—

interests of science each volume of the Bulletin should

e note that a somewhat large number of hybrids are intro- 
duced ; this is not without precedent in the Indeaw, and there 18 
something to be said for their inclusion, but we doubt whether on 
the whole it is desirable. Another innovation is the appending of 
the authority to the names to which a synonym is reduced ; ¢.g-: 

** erotonoides, Pierre=Chrysophyllum crotonoides, Klotzch.” 
The plan of the Index, in which the authority was only appended 
when the same name was retained for two species, neither being

most part synonyms and garden names, but such are not excluded 
from the Index, at any rate in all cases. “ Crategus Korolkowiti 
Hort.” is retained in the Hand-list as a species (from ‘Central 
Asia "’); and one would think that names published and used at Kew 
would have a special claim to appear in the Kew Index. Individual 
examples of omission are Asclepias stockenstromense Schlechter in 
Journ. Bot. 1895, 337 (Xysmalobium stockenstromense Scott Elliot) ; 
Carex Hudsonii Arth. Bennett in London Catalogue, ed. 9, p. 41, 
n. 1681 (1895) (see Journ. Bot. 1895, 188); Cycas Taiwaniana 
Carruthers in Journ. Bot. 1893, p. 2, t. 880. 

Typographical errors, from which the Indea was commendably 
free, are somewhat unduly prominent in the Supplement: e.g. the 


misprinted names, with ‘sphalm.”’ affixed, be continued, it is to 
be feared that the Supplement will include among its errata a number 


of its own makin 


genera and 57 species. In '

ledons. The four volumes of Bubani’s Flora together contain 180

whole book. In Liliacee he maintains his genus Morgagnia (p. —

is a long description. In the opinion of many ne botanists 
it is not n ecessary, in order to establish a generic name, to su upply 
with it a generic character, provided that a description, — 
directly or by reference, is given of the typical species. On thi 
principle the name Morgagnia can take rank from the date of 

ubani’s paper last cited, which certainly seems earlier than that 
of Kunth’s Enum. Plant. iv. The date of the latter is sometimes 
in error quoted as of the year 1841, perhaps on account of a foot-note 
to page 1, to the effect that the printing of the first Order in it was 
begun in J une, 1841; but on page 664 a citation is given from “* Hook. 
London Journal of Botany, no. 4, Apr. 1842,” and there is plenty 
of internal evidence of a like kind ; also the title- -page bears the 
date of 1848, and moreover there remains Bubani’s statement that 
the volume was een in 1844, Some botanists have rejected 
the name Morgagnia, on the ground that in sound _ J 
resembles that of the ens plaiiasinectiae genus Morgania R.

Orchard-grass (a name still used in North America), which implies 
that the grass grows in plantations of apple-trees, as indeed it 
does, though it is not less frequent in meadows and hedges; he 
would on this account have coined for it the name Orchardia, after 
the analogy of Salicaria of Tournefort, etc., had he not been afraid 
of bitter criticism; eventually he made the new name Trachypoa, 
in reference to the comparative roughness of the grass, and its 
botanical relations; thus (p. 859) the genus appears under this name 
and the species as 7’. vulgaris Bub., accompanied with copious refe- 
rences and synonymy ranging from Dalechamp down to Asa Gray. 
he composition of the work occupied forty years; the first 
draft was completed Feb. 5th, 1856, followed by five years of 
general revision. It was first concluded Dec. 15th, 1873; further 
revised Feb. 13th, 1875; and finally settled by the author July 25th, 
1880, rather more than eight years before his death. The editor, 
Professor O. Penzig, of Genoa, has faithfully carried out the 
express wishes of the author in offering to the public this laborious 
work in all its originality. W. P. Himew.

ceded by an introduction dealing shortly with the geology an 

topography of the county, as well as with the methods of collecting 
recommended by the authors. The total number of species recorded 
is 1044, of which 55 are new to Britain. Under each species are 
given the various localities in which it has been found. These are 
arranged under geographical subdivisions of the county, and in the 
case of critical species notes are appended pointing out diagnostic 
characters. A summary is given of the known alge of Yorkshire, in 
the form of a table of classes, orders, and families, showing a total of 
189 genera and 1044 species. An index of names completes the work.

to the list: the omission of Mr. Hiern seems inexplicable, and 
others might be named, more qualified, we think, to deal with the 
subject than those selected. The same criticism applies to the list

Tue fifth part of the Supplementum Universale, forming vol. xvi. 
of the Sylloge Fungorum, has been issued by Messrs. P. A, Saccardo 
and P. Sydow. It is a volume of 1233 pages, in addition to which 

ere is an index (printed on yellow paper) to the groups and 
Senera contained in the whole work. 

HE last instalment (vol. iii. fase. 1) of Prof. Urban’s Symbole 
Antillane is devoted to ‘Note biographicw peregrinatorum Indie 
Oceidentalis botanicorum.” Much of the interesting biographical 
Information, supplied by botanists still living, will be invaluable to 
the future historian of botany. 

,, rHE fifth volume (the first in appearance) of the Recueil de 
UInstitut Botanique of the Brussels University has just been pub- 
lished. The main object of the work seems to be the bringing 
together of papers by members of the University which were 
originally published elsewhere, and will now be accessible in a 
Collected form. It is edited by Prof. Errera, and contains the

In connection with the jubilee of the Owens College, Mancheakons 
last month, the following botanists received the degree o 
Prof. Chodat, Prof. Howes, and Prof. Marshall Ward. The deqtee 
of M.Sc. was ~ eal upon Mr. Charles Bailey. 

Mr. D. McAtprng, the hide Vegetable greg for 
Victoria, has recen tly published a pamphlet for the benefit o 
market-gardeners, dealing with the fungi that — commonly 
attack cabbages and cauliflowers. The diseases are described and 
illustrated by some good coloured drawings and by microphoto- 
graphs, and remedies are suggested in each case for me pennioeiees 
or extermination of the pest. ‘*Black leg,” caused by 
Brassica, is the most destructive fungus they have to contend with, 
It was first met with in 1897, and has already caused very serious 
loss to the growers. Cauliflowers suffer more airarely than cabbages 
from this disease. Plasmodiophora Brassica, popularly called club- 
root, and well known in Europe, has also invaded the Colonies, 
and in some seasons has been very prevalent. Cystopus candidus, 
causing “white rust,’ attacks the leaves of seedlings, and does 

much damage to the plants. Dark spots on the leaves are due to 
Spherella Brassica. This fungus fortunately attacks only the older 
leaves, and is thus of less harmful importance, though its presence 
is very undesirable. Per onospora parasitica forms a white bloom 
on the leaves and inflorescence. e mycelium cornice the tissue 
of the host, and causes rotting of the ears pei It has been

glistens and shines in the light. 

If the conidia springing from the upper surface of the rays of 
the conidiophore be transferred to a hanging drop of gelatine 


which Van Tieghem and Le Monnier described. The conidium at 
its formation is of an elongated fusiform shape with acutely pointed 
ends (fig. la). At the commencement of germination its middle 
is inflated zone that two slender 

yphe grow out in opposite directions (fig. 1b). From these 
hyphe the branched, septate mycelium rapidly develops, and at 
certain spots upon this mycelium the initials of the conidiophores 
soon make their appearance. Van Tieghem and Le Monnier state 
that the ends of the hyphe swell up to form fusiform bodies, which 
give origin to the conidiophores. In my cultures it appeared to 
me that intercalary cells of the hyphe, quite as often as terminal 
ones, swelled up sometimes into fusiform bodies, sometimes into 
more or less irregular shapes, and that these vesicles then grew 
up into sub-aerial prominences, from which the conidiophores 
developed.

As the plant grows older the arms gradually bend back and 
expose the end of the pedicel and their own upper surfaces. More- 
over, in most cases, their apices now become forked and quite 
hyaline. It is worth noting that, whilst plants growing on their 
natural substratum usually had arms with a terminal bifurcation, 
those developed in hanging-drops more commonly maintained simple 
ends to their rays. 

In their earlier stages the rays are unseptate, but later two walls 
make their appearance in each. These walls are not equally dis-

tributed along the arm (as Van Tieghem and Le Monnier state 
them to be), but both lie in the distal half (figs. 7 & 17). Van 
Tieghem and Le Monnier have represented rays with three septa 
(J.c. fig. 129), but in no case have I seen more or less than two 
in any of my specimens. 

The upper surfaces of the proximal and middle segments of 
each ray become studded with minute, rounded eminences—the 
sterigmata—each of which bears a conidium. The distal segment 
of the ray always remains smooth and free from spores (fig. 7). 

he conidia are hyaline, elongated-fusiform bodies with acutely 
pointed ends. They measure ‘01 mm. in length and :003 mm. in 
breadth. They are arranged upon the sterigmata in a very regular 
manner, with their long axes directed obliquely upwards in the 
manner represented in

vary widely; in my specimens I have counted all numbers between

plants of the genus. $1 
F’. confusa was first described by Jordan in the Catalogue Dijon, 
1848, a work which unfortunately I have not been able to consult, 
I have therefore been obliged to rely on the characters which the 
author assigns to it when contrasting it with other kindred Funi- 
tories that he has described in other works; also on the specimens 
of Billot and others in the Herb. Mus. Brit., and on the account 
om in Boreau’s Flore du Centre, where it is designated F'. Bastardi

oblong or oval rather than subrotund-ovate—and are hardly pro- 
duced below the point of insertion. Of these characters Boreau 


174 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 


writes: ‘ Pédicelles a . . . dépassant deux fois les bractées ; 
sépales ovales, . . oitié plus petits que dans le F’. Borei, & peu 
prolongés au- dessous rm leur insertion.” It may be remarked that 
in the Capreolate Fumitories found in Britain the length of the 
sepals appears to vary proportionately with that of the sat ts. 
urther mark of distinction which, though apparently noticed 
by Faueskeishty does not seem to have hitherto been defin itely 
ointed out, is that the two inner petals only are clearly tipped with 
dark purple, the upper one, which is similarly tipped, or at least as to 
its wings, in F’. Borai and other allied forms being in I’. confusa never 
more than flushed on the back with a slightly deeper tint of pink 
than that prevailing pio a the corolla. This character, which 
is practically constant in all the British and foreign specimens that 
: ave examined, can easily be seen in fairly developed flowers, 
ven when dried, and forms, I think, the readiest means of deter- 
ein the plant when the fruit is wanting. 
nother noticeable point in this species is that in good flowers 
the reflexed wings of the upper sre are broader and more con- 
tinuous round its edge than in any of the other British ‘‘Capreo- 
late.”” In this 5g seem to aes ‘is form of the more southern 
species, I’. agraria Lagasca; and taking into consideration at the 
same time the Sdlovatie on of ’the corolla and the characters of the 
fruit, I am o to tr F’. confusa as a species almost equi- 
distant between F. Borai and F. agraria. By Rouy & Foucaud 
F. confusa i is pias the rise of six forms sy a collective species, 


cedes F’, agraria “ein specifically mikesied from it. In Britain, 
where the forms between F. Borai and F.c confusa have not been 
recorded, the two ants look so widely different that I certainly 
can only consider “oom as distinct species, although it is just 


would connect the two. A more correct view, however, seems to 
be that of Haihtagectit; “who considered F’. confusa to be a variety 
of F’. Gussonii Boiss., and specifically distinct from F’. Borei. The 
type of F. Gussonii, which is unknown in Britain, was thought by 
Jordan (Pugillus, p. 5) to be intermediate between his I. confusa 
an orei, and nearer the latter. It is undoubtedly more closely 
related, as Haussknecht supposed, to F’. confusa, which it resembles 
n the shape of the corolla and the rugosity of the fruit. The 
cients of the flower and the shape of the fruit, however, are 
nearer to F’. Bor@i, and I should hesitate to specifically unite it 
with either of re And, if united with F’. confusa, I think that 
us Jordan’s name, which i is ignored by Haussknecht a s being 
used to describe a form only, would stand for the species, it being 
older by a year than — of Boissier. 

- confusa seems to be somewhat er scattered over the 
greater part of Great Britain, but I know of only one habitat for it 
in Ireland. In the Channel Islands it is common. The British 
localities from which I have seen authentic specimens are—Pen- 
zance; the Lizard; Ilfracombe; Mudeford, Hants; Uckfield,

such as clearly exists in the case of F. confusa. The remaining and 
most reliable means of segregation, therefore, would appear to lie 
in the fruit, which in the British Museum specimens of F’. muralis 
from the “locus classicus” at Hamburg, is, as Koch and Jordan 


176 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 


scsi very small and in form subrotund-ovate, 7.e. broadest not 
above, but about, or a little below, the middle. In the immature 
examples the apex is distinctly acute ; in the riper ones rather less 
so, but ee far from the rounded or almost truncate form 
found in F. Bor 

As a Br itish ¢ Scinsed the first trace of I’. muralis is to be found, 
I believe, in Babington’s paper of 1859, which has been so often 
quoted, where, after attention has been drawn to the smallness of 
the flowers and the ic profile of the fruits, the species is 
diagnosed as follows, viz. :— 

epalis ovatis ne basi dentatis tubi corolle latitudinem 
subsequantibus eodemque 3 brevioribus, fructibus obovato-compressis 
apice rotundatis parvis sublevibus, basi fructus lata obconica pedi- 
celli apice paulo angustiore, bracteis pedicellos floriferos equantibus 
fructiferis es patentibus brevioribus, racemis evolutis laxis brevi- 
bus pauciflori 

It will “ ‘once be seen, on comparing the two diagnoses of 
F. muralis, that they are quite at variance respecting the form of 
the fruit, which has been shown to be the plant’s most important 
specific charac ter. Babington, who has Pa followed by other 
British authors, says it is obovate-compressed instead of subrotund- 
ovate, as in the original description; and in this respect, conse- 
quently, his plant would appear to resemble F’. Borei, rather than 
the species of Sonder with which it has been identified. 

Although Boreau and other authors have mentioned the variable- 
ness of F’. Borai, no distinct se appear to have been established 
prior to the year 1882, when Clavaud, in his Flore de la Gironde, 
described three varietal akin two of which seem to a coincide 

with the plant described a Babington as fF’, muralis

The second of Clavaud’s varieties, y serotina, is less fully de-

this opinion is entirely opposed to that of Jordan and his con- 
temporaries, who omitted F’. muralis from the French flora; and 
after raising these plants from seed and more or less closely 
examining, both in the field and in the herbarium, a very large 
number of specimens, I can only think that such plants as Babing- 
ton described as F’. muralis, and Clavaud as y serotina and 3 murali- 
formis, are, as the latter supposed, distinct from the real plant of 
Sonder, and merely varieties or forms of F. Bor@i, connected by a 
series of intermediates with the type, and owing their forms, in 
many cases, solely to the circumstances under which they happen 


grow. 

Although Clavaud’s description of his variety y serotina must 

certainly be regarded as meagre, yet, taking into conjunction with 

it the original account of F. Borai, it will, I think, be seen that it 

offers no real contradiction to Babington’s account of F’. muralis.

of I’. Borei, more or less closely agreeing with the type; and I think 
that any careful observer will soon be convinced that the two forms 


referred to it. It is the handsomest of all the forms of this species. 
Besides these varieties of F. Borai, there is one more form 
which should not escape without some mention, as it is abundant

rugose, when dry, and by the smallness of the apical pits ; and in 
all other respects the plant resembles F’. Borai. As this is a well- 
marked variety in its extreme form, I am distinguishing it as var. 
AMBIGUA. 

Having thus been led from the determination of F. muralis to 
discuss the most marked forms with which I am acquainted of 
F. Borei, it now remains to consider the affinities of the two types, 
neither of which can be expunged from our flora, as plants differing 
from Babington’s description of F’. muralis and answering precisely 
to that of Koch and Jordan are found in at least one British 
locality. So far as I can judge, all of the forms that have been 
dealt with in this paper under the name of F’. Borai, while varying 
greatly in habit and in flower, are clearly separable from I’. muralis 
by the fruit being always more or less obovate, with the apex dis- 
tinctly rounded. In the few examples that I have seen of Sonder’s 
plant there is a marked uniformity in the very small, subacute, 
subrotund-ovate fruits, which extends to the majority of the speci- 


Borei and I’. muralis are treated as separate species. The author, 

in so doing, relies not only on the difference in the fruit, but also 

on that of the pedicels, concerning which he writes under F’. Borat: 

‘Ferner durch die kurzen, dickeren, aufrecht-abstehenden Frucht- 

stielchen, die bei F’, muralis diner, linger und daher schlanker 
‘ ; 


of course, holds good in the case of the two types, but the mono- 
grapher’s remarks are almost identical with those of Clavaud con- 
cerning his variety, } muraliformis, of F'. Borei, and the same 
features may certainly be found in some of the British forms with 
Borai-like fruits. And as, moreover, among cultivated plants grown 
from the seed of stouter forms of I’. Borai, the same slender pedicels 
are prevalent, I cannot consider this means of distinction a very 
reliable one. The name of F’. muralis Sond. being anterior to 
I, Borgi Jord., and, so far as I am aware, to all other names free 
from ambiguity which might be applied to these plants, I take it to 
represent the aggregate species.

but I saw it in many places in both counties, as near *Llangefnai, 
in Anglesey, N. C. R. for Anglesey. 
- Polygala vulgaris L. A handsome form occurs on the cliffs of 
Cwm Idwal, and was recorded by the Rev. A. Ley as the var. 
grandiflora Bab.; but it is not identical with the true grandiflora from 

Herr Freyn says it approaches P. Saltelis Legrand,

to be the Isle of Man, but—as Dillenius was the original authority

NORTH DONEGAL MOSSES. 
By J. Hunter. 


Wate Mr. H.C. Hart’s Flora of Donegal has supplied botanists 
with a full account of the flowering plants, it is a matter of regret 
that so little has yet been done in the investigation of the Moss 
Flora of this interesting county. Mr. H.N. Dixon, in this Journal 
for December, 1891, pp. 859-362, has a short paper on the mosses 
collected by him during a brief visit in July, 1890, and this seems to 
be the last contribution to the very meagre bryological literature 
dealing with the county. During a residence of some years in the 
northern portion of Donegal, I paid a little attention to the mosses, 
but the list which I subjoin can hardly be considered as more than 
a partial contribution to the bryology of the district. As such 
however, it may possibly be considered interesting and suggestive 
in the absence of a more complete record. 

My investigations have been mainly confined to the valley run- 
ning from the city of Londonderry north-westward to Fahan, Lough 
Swilly, and thence along the eastern shore of the lough to Bun- 
crana, in the neighbourhood of which I have explored largely. I 
have also visited, but only for a few hours, a portion of the western 
shore of Lough Swilly, which is interesting as possessing features 
more characteristic of the Donegal landscape in its wilder aspect. 
In a little wood, named Carradoan, on the slope of a hill, I seemed 
to be transported to an altogether different climate. The mildness 


this group, and also with the Andree, and other similar ga 
whose absence in my list is accounted for by my not having ye 
explored the higher hills and mountains, which I hope, however, 
to do in the ensuing summer. . 

My thanks are due to Mr. H. N, Dixon and Dr. Stirton for

NEHEMIAH GREW AND HIS ‘ANATOMY.’ 


ct Nehemiah 
course of his paper demonstrated the injustice of the ‘‘ attempts 
that have been made to depreciate the work of Grew, and to rob 
him of the credit that belongs to him as an original investigator.” 
Having set forth in detail the separate works of Grew, Mr. Car- 
ruthers proceeds as follows :—] 


Scatemen promulgated these charges in his Grundziige, 1845. 
They are thus expressed by Lankester in his translation of Schlei- 
den’s work published in London, 1849, under the title of Principles 
of Scientific Botany (pp. 87, 88) :— 

“Marcello Malpighi, professor at Bologna, gave a more accurate 
account of the structure of plants {than Hooke]. He sent to the 
Royal Society of London his great work, Anatome Plantarum, in 
the year 1670, which was published in two volumes, folio, at the 
expense of the Society, in 1675 and 1679. This work claims for 
him the title of the creator of scientific botany. He is so accurate, 


posed of fibres; he also, by comparing the cells of plants to the 
froth of beer, would appear to have thought that they were mere 
cavities in a homogeneous substance, a view which was afterwards 
supported by C. Fr. Wolff.” 

The assertions of Schleiden are based upon dates, but they are 
erroneous dates. Malpighi’s preliminary discourse, which occupies 
the a fifteen pages of his Anatome, has inscribed on the last page, 


and roots of plants. G h th " : 
Completed observations on germination were published in 1672, 


198 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 


and those on roots in 16738. Grew could not have been indebted 
to Malpighi for any help in these subjects. Schleiden makes his 


cavities in a homogeneous substance.” The two interpretations of 


the title The Anatomie of Plants, in 1682. Thus Grew had oppor- 
tunity to use Malpighi’s ideas in his later compositions; he actually 
did so, and the important point as regards the question of priority 
is, that where he makes use of Malpighi he distinctly quotes from 
him. No more is necessary to remove the serious imputation which 
Schleiden has made against Grew”’ (p. 281). 

Sachs’ modified charge is also based on erroneous dates. He 
was unaware that the larger portion of Grew’s Anatomy of Plants 
was published in 1672, 1678, and 1675, the latter year being the 
date of the reception and publication of Malpighi’s Anatome. I have 
been able to discover only a single reference to Malpighi in Grew’s 


NEHEMIAH GREW AND HIS ‘ANATOMY’ 199 


Anatomy of Plants, and there (p. 73) he quotes, as Sachs says, the 

words of the Anatome, but for the purpose of correcting and adding 
to Malpighi’s statement. 

The fact is that Grew and Malpighi were original investigators 

i 8 n this 


and Grew. The following letter, preserved among the manuscripts 

of the Royal Society, which has not been published, is an interesting 

confirmation of this, as well as a specimen of the quaint courtesy of 
these olden times :— 

“Most illustrious Sir,

methods of nutrition and configuration; the magnitude of the 
whole root, the causes of the figures, movements, ages, contents, 
briefly elucidated. To which also I determined to prefix the Idea 
of Phytological Science as it was delineate in my mind; and at 
the same time that they are published, to submit them ‘to your 
learned and kind perusal. I saw also with the greatest pleasure 
your Sy oe of the incubating ovum, both former and recent ; 
the rest are all such accurate and gracefu specimens of the same 
skill, learning and talent, that they plainly ceeiare their Malpighian 
origin. Proceed, most learned Sir, in the things you have so ex- 
tae begun, and strive to bind us and aoe poe more each day

beginning of the Rubi list on p. 150 of this year’s Journal. The 
county of Edinburgh is there represented as haying no Rubus forms

i ifolius, R. sawatilis, and R.

should also have been credited with five forms ‘clearly known,”’ 
instead of four. I hope, though I hardly dare expect, that there

quickened energies of our younger field-botanists make them quite

covered the ‘‘final cause’’ in the principle that ‘ the transpiration 
which takes place in the leaves demands that air should circulate 


freely around them, and that they should overlap as little as 
ible.”’ 


In the general observations, page 22, the author says: ‘ Phyllo- 
taxis is the obvious and visible expression of more obscure plienomena 
in the growing apex, and must be referred to the first Zone of Growth, 
since in passing through the Zone of Elongation it may be funda- 
mentally altered in appearance. ... . It follows again that, for 
any spiral leaf arrangement that has passed through this second 
zone of elongation, no expression which is not a purely arbitrary 
and conventional one can be formulated.” 

: ference is made (page 31) to Sachs’s theory of the orthogonal 
Intersection of cell-walls, and to the remarkable similarity of the

coaxial system of confocal ITT which form the ae 
walls. The author urges that the paraboloid shape of 
bis is Saapable of proof, and that a a ane founded on 
this principle does not satisfy the evidence deduced from Sachs’s 
drawings; he prefers the proposition (page 42) think. the genetic 
spiral is a icmp spiral, homologous “with line of current- 
iral-vortex, and that in such a system the action of 
orthogonal Horeed will be mapped out by other sittiogoenally inter-

In this well ogee volume, Dr. Britton has supplied what we are 
sure must have been ‘‘a long felt want” among American botanists. 
The manuals of Asa Gray and Chapman for the Northern and 
Southern States respectively a excellent books, and have been 
of incalculable value in the past; but it was high time for a book 
which should be for the field what the Illustrated Flora is for the

instability of which is once more demonstrated in a severely critical 
article by Mr. M. L. Fernald, published in the Botanical Gazette 
for last ie to which, if space permit, we propose to return. 

A few points of detail seem to us open to criticism. What 
are absurdly called ‘‘ English names” are given—not for ‘each 
Species,”’ as stated in the preface, but for most of them; sometimes 
these are Latin, tout court, as Brachyelytrum, but in m most instances 
they are translations of adaptations —what claims have ‘ Filiform 


tapi or ‘‘ American Korycarpus”’ to be called “ English 
e are two indexes, one rs Latin and one of 
n relish ” names, the Seat being lim to genera; these 


of the name in full in connection with each s speci e regre ret 
that the author should sanction the abbreviation of his name ina 
manner which may cause confusion: “ Britt. & Holl.”-—the authori- 


ties cited for a species of Lechea—stands for * Britten and Holland ” 

cee with ‘ Britton aes Hollick.”” But these are small matters : 
e book is a welcome addition to botanical literature, and must 

ai rank as the senile’ stinvitind of North American botany.

illustrations of a member of each genus. He gives some good notes 
on the generic value of capillitium, sterile base, and form of spores. 
The paper should form & useful introduction to the study of the

the dark as to the origin of the plants, and he does not indicate in 
What countries the different genera may be looked for.

208 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 


Jupemne from the Report of the Felsted School Scientific Society 
for 1900-1901, botany is not a popular study at the present time. 
The Rev. E. Gepp contributes a short ‘ botanical report ’’ which 
contains a curious mixture of type and some interesting notes on : 
certain plants occurring in that part of Essex; but why, im a 
publication issuing from an education 1 centre, are the Latin 
names deprived of their capitals ? 

The Scottish Geographical Magazine for March contains an 
interesting paper on ‘‘A Botanical Survey of Scotland,” by Dr. 
W. G. Smith, of the Yorkshire College, Leeds. It is based on the 
work of his brother, the late Robert Smith; we hope to give some 
extracts later, if space will allow. 

Messrs. Bracke & Son contemplate a re-issue of Prof. F. W. 
Oliver’s translation of Kerner’s Natural History of Plants. The new 
edition will be issued at a considerably reduced price; it will be sub- 
stantially a reprint, with a few necessary alterations and corrections. 

Me. Laster Perry publishes in the Naturalist for February 
what appears to be a very complete list of the plants of Silverdale, 
West Lancashire. 

Tux Bureau of Plant Industry of the U.S. Department of 
Agriculture has issued a bulletin of exceptional botanical interest.

phyton we have the ‘root’ or rhizophore-like structure of some 
Lepidophloios. The massive middle cortex of the fossil further 
points to L. fuliginosus as the corresponding stem ; and the author 
concludes that the two fossils were thus associated. : 
We regret to announce the death of Mr. Tomas CoMBER, which 
took place suddenly at Blackpool on Jan. 24; and of Mr. G. »- 
Jenman, Government Botanist of British Guiana, who died at George- 
town on Feb. 28. Notices of these botanists will appear later.

In jaz the editorship was assumed by the late Dr. Trimen, who, 
_assisted during part of the time by Mr. J. G. Baker and Mr, Spence 
Pree carried it on until the at of 1879, when he left eavant for 
Ceylon. Since then it has been in the hands of the present Editor. 


: Without professing to occupy the vast field of general Botany, the 
ee urnal has from its inception filled a position which, even now, is 
covered by no other tein It affords a ready and prompt medium 
for the publication of new discoveries, and appears regularly and 
punctually on the Ist of ash month. While more especially concerned _ 
ve systematic botany, observations of eve ery kind are welcomed. — 
ecial prominence has from the first been given to British botany, . 
it may safely be said that oe of primary importance bese 
- upon this subject has remained unnoticed. 8 


Bibliographical matters have also received and continue to receive 
considerable attention, and the history of many obscure publications 
has been elucidated. Every number contains reviews of new and

growths of Physarum bivalve Pers. They are grey in colour, an

it thereby doing injury to the young plants in the border. Fuligo

The fact that the Berlin sR ECR EE of P. gyrosum were found in

the influence of the warm and moist atmosphere; but among 4

On tue Mycerozoa or Bonemia RECORDED By Dr. L. CELAKOVSKY, JR, 


Dr. Laptstay Cxrtaxovsxy, Jun., published a volume in 1893, 
entitled Die Myxomyceten Béhmens (in Archiv der Naturwissenschaft, 
vii. Band, No. 5, Prag), in which he enumerates about ninety-four 
species of Mycetozoa found in Bohemia. The work is excellently 
illustrated, and is a record of much earnest investigation both in the 
field and study. We had the privilege of a visit from Dr. Celakovsky 
in 1896, when he came to London, and examined the British 
Museum collection of Mycetozoa. He brought with him specimens 
of about fifty of the most important species that had come under 
his notice, including several rare types, and obligingly presented 
us with portions of gatherings on which he had founde is de- 
scriptions ; several of these were species which he had mentioned 
in his work as new. We carefully examined these specimens 


from those previously known, and come within the range of varia-

conclusions we arrived at should be published, and, with Dr.

the capillitium is accurately described and figured (J. c.), with small

the absence of the spiral markings on the capillitium, characteristic 
of the genus Hemitrichia. We have, however, a specimen that we

deals with this county is a short one in the “ Report on the Botany

three counties of Clare, Limerick, and Kerry, and is therefore not

BRITISH HAWKWEEDS OF THE CERINTHOIDEA 


By Freperic N. Wituiams, F.L.S. 


Ir is to be regretted that the assiduous workers who have 
expen ded so much enthusiasm in the detailed examination and 
critical pea age of the British Hawi wesds have not seen their 
way to define in precise terms the Mostar erage in which the 
multifarious an variable British forms may be grouped. The 
comparison of a nies of Scottish cpaciiieat with an fea of 
Specimens collected in similar stations in the prepare ae districts 
of Central Europe, would doubtless show that many forms now 
considered dimotospecific would be found to be conspeifi And 
were the sections to which these many forms may be referred 
Resi nily defined, it would certainly lead to a satisfactory reduc- 
tion of inighiea as welcome to the field-botanist as to the systematic 
compile 
his account of the species included in the oO edition 
of English Botany, implicitly followed the views expresse ack- 
house’s monograph, and complacently remarks, “ : - ok. dulcis 
to quote continental authorities, as in many ca they do not 
divide the species in the same way a3 Mr. paakhinen: ” ig 
perhaps, for the plodding peters ue they do not. And further, 
@ critical examination of a series of Continental forms would 
probably tend to show that eee species are not to be con- 
sidered endemic to a greater extent and in a greater degree than is 
the ae: in other genera whose concrete units are so protean in 
charact 


laid dowu b Pies, and pa art issue in the yeu sate assign to 


in which the plants of a definite area are enumerated, an area

of a pre-

Specific forms, it may be defined in ae ssa terms :—

_ In grouping the British species of the subgenus Archieracium, 
it is proposed to arrange them under ten sections in two series : 
(1) Phyllopoda and (2) Aphyllopoda, as defined by Godet and some 
what modified by Celakovsky. These are preferable to the artificial 
groups of Aurella, Pulmonarea, and Accipitrina, proposed by ies. 
The Phyllopodous series are divided into the two subseries of 
Trichophylla and Adenophylia, on the character of the leaves,

that in the Flora Londinensis, is almost certainly not of Welsh 
origin, as the leaves are lon er and more acute. In the British 


Museum there are the following MS. notes referring to the localities 


‘Anglesey. Gadar in the Parish of Llanvair in Cornwey [sic]

from the sea upon the rocks where the soil is not deep, among the 
Scilla bifolia and Sedum rubens: it flowers in June. Mr. Williams”: 
“Qistus guttatus Fl. Brit. Holyhead Mountain and Amlwch, 
i .W. of the village among Heath, before the discovery of the 
great copper mine, plentifully. . ies.”” 

In Hooker’s London Journal of Botany (iii. 618, 1844) Planchon 
describes the Anglesey plant as a new species of Helianthemum, 
which he calls H. Brewer. He diagnoses it as follows :—‘‘ Helian- 
themum (e sectione Tuberaria) annun basi ramosum subdiffusum 
viscidulo-hispidulum, pedicellis bracteatis, defloratis subdeflexis, 
fructiferis erecto-patentibus, petalis angustis immaculatis, stamini- 
bus 8-12, seminibus quam in H. guttato majoribus.” “ The 


glance suggested the idea that the plant was specifically distinet 
from H. .’ The presence of bracts is, he says, constant 
in cultivation, as shown in the figure taken by Mr. Wilson from a 
cultivated example; and he considered the Anglesea plant specifically 
different from the French guttatum with which he was well ac- 
qua 


Syme (Eng. Bot. ed. 3, vol. ii. p. 8) treats H. Brewert as & 
subspecies of H. guttatum, “the chief point of difference being the 
presence of strap-shaped leafy bracts at the base of the icel.”’ 

nder H. guttatum he says the Jersey plant has the leaves with 
stellate pubescence and ebracteate. 

In 1890 I visited the Anglesey locality near Holyhead, and 
found plants having the bracteate flowers of H. Breweri, but with 
them were more luxuriant specimens, quite ebracteate; On my 
return I submitted them to Mr. J. G. Bak 
‘typical guttatum.” I reported this in this Journal for 1890 
(p. 815), but pointed out that the leaves were broader than those 
on the Jersey plant, and in the Report of the Bot. Exch. Club for 
1892, p. 855, I stated that I thought it was ebracteate H. Brewers. 
In his Flora of Anglesey and Carnarvon, p. 17, Mr. Griffith says wt 
have sown seeds of the supposed H. guttatum and seeds‘of undoubte 
H. Breweri from the same place in rich soil in my garden, with the 
result that they all turned out to be the same—viz. H Brewert.” 

From the foregoing statements we see that the characters given 
to H. Breweri both by its original describer and subsequent writers 
will need amending; as those of bracteate inflorescence, diffuse 
growth, and unspotted petals given by Planchon are found to be 


SHORT NOTE 288 


inconstant. The larger number of specimens seen by me in 1890 
and 1894 had spotted petals, and were erect, and a few of the 
bane and more upright plants were quite ebracteate. Still, the 
Anglesey plant has a different facies from the H. guttatum of 
Jersey, the leaves being broader and more obovate, and of a more 


surface, a character mentioned by Syme for H. guttatum, but not 
referred to him under H. Breweri, and I think it to be a good 
geographical race. 

I may add that H. Breweri is also found at Three Castle Head, 
Co. Cork, and in Tnishbofin and Inishark (see Cyb. Hib. ed. 2, p. 41), 
and H. guttatum is also said to grow in both tp ae I have 
seen no Irish specimens of the latter plant, but I am red that 
both occur. It would be interesting to see if the Trish j is pies 
identical with the Jersey plant.

238 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 


We learn from the daily press that a new botanical post has been 
created, which will be filled by Sir W. Thiselton-Dyer, who, itis said, 
t 


Dyer, who now becomes ‘ Botanical Adviser’ to the Co onial 
Secretary of State, has been Director of the Royal Gardens at 
Kew for the last seventeen years. He began his working career 
at the Royal Agricultural College at Cirencester in 1868, when he 
was twenty-five, but he wrapped himself up in Kew in more senses 
than one when he married the accomplished daughter of Sir Joseph 
Hooker, who was Director of the famous ‘ Gardens’ from 1855 to 
65. Like his distinguished father-in-law, Sir William has con- 
tributed largely to the literature of botanical science, and there is 
ably much more yet to come trom im, for he is a very young 
man for his years.” It can hardly be said that the literary contri- 
butions of the present Director, so far as these are enumerated in 
the ‘ List of Kew Publications’ reviewed in this Journal for 1897 
(pp. 100-103) are comparable either in number or quality with 
those of ‘his distinguished father-in-law’; but it may be that his 
comparative leisure will result in the production of work which will 
take rank with that of Sir Joseph Hooker. 

The Journal of the Linnean Society dated April 1 (xxxv. 20. 244) 
contains an important paper by Mr. Hemsley on ‘‘ The lora of 
Tibet and High Asia; being a consolidated account of the various 
Tibetan botanical collections in the Herbarium of the Royal

5-27. Several of the plates are coloured, and the figures all appear 
to be truthfully rendered. They chiefly serve to illustrate the 
diagnostic characters employed in the keys to the species, which 
orm an important feature of the book. The descriptions are short 
and simple ; and the system of classification is the well-known one 
elaborated by Limpricht in his Laubmoose. The present parts are 
concerned chiefly with the Andreeacea, Cleistocarpea, Weisiacea, 
Dicranacea, and Pottiacee. The work promises to be of great 
assistance to those who can read German; but it is to be regretted 
that certain errors of spelling should have escaped correction. Thus 
we note Ortothrichacee (p. 45), osnumdioides (p. 81), Wanstorfii (p. 
105), acciphylia (p. 121), acyphylla (p. 127). These errors catch 
the eye the more readily from being printed in a conspicuous 
leaded type.

r. A. C. Seward read a paper by Miss 8S. O. Ford and himself, 
“On the Anatomy of Todea, with Notes on the Affinity and 
Geological History of the Osmundacew.” The main points were:

sented by 7’. barbara and two of the filmy species, T. superba and 
T. hymenophylloides, with a view to a comparison with that of

acted as referees. The report is somewhat less interesting this 
year than in previous years, having been cut down considerably to 
educe the expense of printing, as well as from the fact that fewer 
critical plants requiring discussion were sent in. The beginners’ 
section—-of which the Secretary is now Mr. D. A. Jones, ‘E.L.S., 
Rock House, Harlech—has had a fairly prosperous year ; it has over 
forty members, less than half of whom sent in any plants for dis- 
tribution. Some of the members, however, have displayed very 
gratifying interest in the section. A for reign section of the Club 
has been commenced during the past year, and promises to be a 
useful adjunct to the general work of the Society. Prof. Barker 
has acted as distributor, and Rev. C. H. Waddell, M.A., Saintfield

Tue Linnean Society has been taking the arent of its Fellows 
as to the admission of women to the Society. The result has no 
yet been published, but we trust it will result in the obtaining of 
the sought-for privilege, although we think those interested in the 
movement have not always been fortunate in their spokeswomen.

T 
blue-green a or ued These alge are of particular 
interest on account of the manner in which they assist in the 
deposition of considerable quantities of calcareous fincronta and 
siliceous sinter. The formation of rock-masses by the agency’ st 


hot waters; and, although numerous people had noticed the oc- 

currence of algal growths in tat ch situ ations, up to that time, few 

careful observations had been made with regard to the specific 

nature of the plants which pe the construction of ni -spring 
eposits. 


In referring to the occurrence of hot-water growths in such 
widely- bepainicd localities as Iceland, the Azores, New Zealand, 
Japan, and the United States, Weed remarks that ‘the flora is 


Species themselves being identical to a great e t.” 1s 
Cannot altogether agree ; ven the few collections from 
Iceland have a are diverse sere and the nu of species 


teed and | Masse ce Celt, are present in the 
Collections I have examined from Iceland. Miss J. E. Tilden} 
has also specifically examined some algw from the geysers of the 
ae teen National Park, U.8.A., and, of the species she records, 
0 ‘ ath midium laminosum (Ag.) Gomont, is present in the 
celand material. 

The SSthest temperature at which alge will exist is said to be 
94°5° C. (20 0° F.). This was observed by Brewer§ in California. 
From Iceland, 85° C. (185° F.) was the highest femperature of the

Some months a r. A. W. Hill, of the Bc Laboratory, 
Cambridge, most kindly S eedeets me a number of tubes of alge 
which he collected in hot springs in Iceland in 1900. Some of them 
were from Hveravellir, almost in the centre of the island; others were 
from the mountain range Kerlingarféll, and one was from the hot

Gomont, O. numidica Seay and Calothria parietina Thuret, 
var. pe malis. Four species of Desmids were 0 served, three of 
which indicate the dando of distinctly northern types to life in 
hot water 
The first mention of alge from hot springs in Iceland was by 
Sir William Hooker, who visited many of the hot springs in 1809, 
and found several species of ‘‘Conferva” in them; later, Berkley 
found species of H chris in collections made by Baring-Gould 
in the spray and overflow of the spring Tun guhver. Lauder 
Lindsay (1861)* ae found two kinds of ‘ Conforva” in some very 
hot springs at Laugarn 
Only a few tacugas ‘and one alga belonging to the Cone

A time ago, Mr. R. H. Yapp, of Caius College, Cambridge, 
very Kindly forwarded to me a bottle of alge obtained from a hot 
spring at Sira Rimau, in the Malay Peninsula, dain | the Skent 
Expedition in 1899-1900. The spring was sulplurous, and the 
temperature of the water was 39:6° CG. The materi consisted 
Principally of a new species of 8 ymploca, which I have the honour

and much shorter cells, the transverse walls of which are clearly 
visible. 

Many of the tufts of S. Yappii were of a red colour, especially 
towards their apices. This was due to the presence of a red Micro- 
coccus attached to the exterior of the filaments.

HIERACIUM ANGLICUM Fries AND ITS VARIETIES. 
By Freperic N. Witutams, F.L.S. 


In an attempt to group the British Hawkweeds, the critical 
examination of the many forms of the species found to occur in 
Central Europe recorded in Die Hieracien Mittel-Europas (so far as 
published) by Naegeli and Peter, and exemplified in their excellent 
Series of specimens issued under the supervision of Prof. Peter as 


: ] s 

revision of the fewer forms met with in other countries. The 
present paper is therefore tentative and, as it were, introductory, 
taking up H. anglicum as a well-known British species. The 
stoup of Cerinthoidea, as represented in this country, does n 
include typical members of the group, and many forms referred to 
it must probably find a place elsewhere. In a recent paper in this 
Journal a few points were touched on, and a further examination 
of specimens of H. callistophyllum tends to show that it would, 
perhaps, be better transferred to Oreadea,

by intimacy or frequent correspondence with Sir William Hooker, 
H. C. Watson, H. Trimen, and others, and by some acquaintance

other French botanists. His first botanical publication was the 
Flora of Dorset (1874), in which he recorded several species added 
to the county by himself. Of these, Helleborus fetidus, Raphanws

of friendship. His essays, however, for the most part saw the 
light in the Transactions of the Dorset Nat. Hist. and Antiquarian 
Field Club, a flourishing institution which owed its existence In 


and a masterly survey of current geological progress and discovery, 
as well as with important monographs on the Dorset Trigonie, and 
on the Fossil Reptiles of the county, and descriptions of his own 
discoveries. 

To the County Museum at Dorchester Mr. Mansel-Pleydell was 
a life-long contributor. One of its principal founders, he deposite 
in its keeping most of his geological finds, and the results of his 
archeological researches and investigations; and he leaves it by 
will his extensive British and European herbaria. 

t might be supposed that a country gentleman who followed 
his varied tastes in Natural History so keenly, a student in several 
of its branches and an author in most of those he studied, would 
have found little leisure and less inclination for the manifold duties 
that the Church, the county, and a large estate look for from men 
in his position. The owner of an extensive domain, lord of the 
manor in three parishes, he lived an unselfish and unostentatious 
life, devoting large sums to the improvement of his estates, which 
are models of order; whilst in the face of poor returns he spen

_ Prof. Newton, F.R.S., who was frequently with him twenty to 
thirty-five years ago, while Mr. Mansel-Pleydell was collecting 
materials for his Birds of Dorset, writes from Cambridge, that, at 
the time when he was nearly overwhelmed with the liabilities he 
had incurred in connection with the unfortunate Somerset and 
Dorset Railway, ‘the calmness with which he bore up against 
what at one time seemed the prospect of utter ruin was very 
remarkable.” He adds: ‘“ The simplicity of his character and the 
almost boyish ardour of his pursuit of Nature made his society, to 
me at least, most attractive, and I feel that I. have in him lost a 


really good friend.’ i

as regards the development of the individual plants. g con- 
vinced of the necessity for studying the polymorphism of species of 
fresh-water alge in order to arrive at a true definition of the 
species limits, he has devoted much time and attention to the bio- 
logical side of the subject. His notes are therefore of great interest 
and value,

include all the families of the green alge, but as this was

quently been able to study them in detail. But he points ont that 
€ven in the cases where only Swiss specimens have been studied, 
the facts would hold good for such species all over the world; and 
since the fresh-water flora of Switzerland is not very different from 
that in any other part of the world, ‘a treatise on Swiss alge 1s 
useful both in Japan and Paraguay.” : 

M. Chodat divides his book into four parts :—4. Collection and 
Preservation of fresh-water alge. B. Morphology, in which he 
treats, under separate headings, of Protoplasm, Vacuoles, Flagella, 
Stigma, Chromatophore, Pyrenoid, Nucleus, Membrane, Pluri- 
cellular Thallus, Hairs and Bristles, Rhizoids, and Organs of Attach- 
ment, Organs of Multiplication. C. Biology, under the headings 


phils, Plankton, Cryoplankton, Dispersal. D. Classification. Lists 
of bibliogra hy are given. Under this last division he treats the 

rococcoidee with Schizogonioidee and the Chroolepotdee. This 
ccupies 246 pages of the book, and is a most valuable contribution

BRYOLOGICAL NOTES. 
By Ernest §. Satmon, F.L.S. 
(Continued from p. 9.) 
(Pirate 440.) 


To the distribution of Anomodon Toccoe Sulliy. & Lesq., which I 
have given ina previous note (Journ. Bot. 1901, p. 360, and 1902, 
p. 1), the following addition is to be made. In the Kew Herbarium 
there is a moss labelled “ Papillaria torticuspis Broth. nov. spec. 
Birmah. comm. L. Linden ; received Dec. 1893.” This name has 
not, so far as I can find, been published. The moss is typical 


species. Dr. J. Cardot has informed me that A. Toccow has been 
found in a third locality in North America, viz, Louisiana, Forest 
of Baton Rouge, at the foot of trees (leg. Rev. A. B. Langlois, 
Sept. 1, 1886). 


(25). Tue Genus Turemea C. Moll. 

Tn Bot. Centraibl. Ba. vii, 846 (1881), Miiller founded the genus 
Uhiemea for the reception of a moss which existed in Hampe’s 
herbarium under the MS. name of Funaria saxicola, Miiller’s de- 
Scription of the genus is as follows: ‘* Thiemea gen. nov. Tribus 
Funariacearum, habitus Kunarie minute, peristomium Trichostomi, 
dentibus usque ad membranam brevissimam fissis apice hamate 
aduncis longe inflexis.” This is followed by a specific description 
of the single speci ; 
“Ich glaubte lingere Zeit, vorstehende Art und Gattung mit der, 
von mir anfangs nur sehr unvollstindig gekannten Wilsoniella 
zusammen bringen zu miissen; allein die Entdeckung einer zwelten 
pisiralischen) Wilsoniella, welche sich vollstandig zeigt, sowle der

.. . Denkt man sich ein Leptotrichum mit dem Blattnetze einer 
Funariaceen und dem Mundbesatze eines Trichostomum, so hat man 
eine gute Vorstellung von dem seltenen Moose.” 

We may note here that in the specific description given in Bot. 
Centralbl. the inflorescence is by an error described as * monoica ?,” 


ioicous 
In order to obtain, if possible, some further knowledge on 
Thiemea Hampeana, I have examined the type material in Hampe’s 
herbarium at the British Museum (South Kensington). These 
specimens are, apparently, the only ones existent, as Dr. Brotherus 
informs me that the plant is not represented in Miiller’s herbarium. 


21/2/71,” and “ Muigyee valley (before going to village of Kambila 
ascent), 21/2/71.” ‘To this Hampe has added, «©3328 T'rematodon 
pt itten. Funaria saxicola. Peristom. simpl. exsertu 
onn i ent. per paria approximat. profunde par- 
titis subulatis teretibus glabris apice inflexis opacis.” Ina separate 
note Hampe has written: ‘ Funaria sawicola. Parvula vix uncialis, 
caulis debilis erectus brevior inferne laxefoliatus, superne radiato- 

foliatus, fol. caulina minora, comalia carinata an ste 


eruribus subulatis, inter. ciliis subulatis coloratis. Birma, omah ; 


lia nee commutanda.” Concerning same moss Miiller has 
written, evidently in a note to’ Hampe: * Mildea Hampeana yailil. 
Zweite Species ist M. decipiens—Trematodon decipiens itt. welche 


weder Operculum noch Calyptra. Entschieden Funariaceen. 
The word ** Mildea”’ in the above note has been altered to Themed 
in Hampe’s handwriting. 

Amongst the specimens of Thiemea I noticed a capsule and seta, 
detached from any stem, which attracted attention for the follow- 
ing reason. d lens, was strongly 
constricted below the mouth, and the points of the teeth of the

BRYOLOGICAL NOTES 275 


connivent, with a habit in no way recalling a Missidens-peristome ; 
moreover, no capsules were found constricted below the mouth. I 
am inclined to think, therefore, that Miiller, whilst correctly de- 
scribing the Trichostomum-like nature of the peristome, was led 
astray in his description of the capsule and peristome in a dry state 
by the admixture of a loose Fissidens capsule. 

ampe, from one of his notes, appears to have considered his 


stome attached, that Miiller is quite correct in his description of 


examining the intimate structure of the peristome, however, it is 
seen that it conforms to the aplolepideous type (see fig. 4). (The

This fact prohibits us from placing the present moss e

distinct as a genus, but should be sunk in Wilsoniella. W y

Griff. as a synonym of Gar ‘dnert, rema king, ‘ Specim!

In Griffith’s plant, however, we find the narrower, longer leaves, 
with more incrassate and more toothed margins, the denser cor 
lation, and the spinosely-dentate nerve characteristic of Dr. Cardo ? 
plant. We may note, too, that in Griffith’s diagnosis of his W. Mac

the plant as a variety of 9. Gardneri (Hook.). There can, I think, 
be no doubt that the plant is not specifically distinct from S. 
Gardneri, since all the characters shown are comparative ones. It 
is interesting to find also, from a specimen in the Kew Herbarium 
and in Wilson’s herbarium, that Wilson took the same view of the 
position of the plant. This specimen is labelled ‘ eeber: Gardnert 

epal,’’ bears a note affixed, in Wilson’s handwriting, ‘‘ var. 
foliis angustioribus, margine magis incrassatis, duplici serie serratis, 
setis longioribus.’’ This specimen consists of three examples, o 
which the two u upper agree with S. Gardneri var. Macleliandit, 
while the lower is typi ical S. Gardneri. 

As regards ~ ne of S. Gardneri and its variety in 
India, the specim in the Kew and British Museum Herbaria 
are to be sorted as follows The plant labelled «124 Herb. Ind, Or.

It may be noted here that authors have described differently the 
capsule of S. Gardneri. Hooker says, ‘“capsula siccitate vix su 
-eata’’; Schwaegrichen and Miller, ‘‘ capsula leevissima’’; Bridel, 

h 


of the capsules are plicate, one quite smooth old capsule occurs. 
On the other hand, in the var. Maclellandii the capsule is always; 
apparently, perfectly smooth and shining. All authors have de- 
seribed the calyptra of S. Gardneri as “levis” ; in reality, however, 
the apex of the calyptra is distinctly scabrous—a fact noted by 
Wilson on specimens in his herbarium.

is prefaced by an introduction in English in another hand (not 
Buchanan’s), which is followed by a Latin translation m the hand 
of the writer of the descriptions. The introduction, which is clearly 
by Buchanan, and is dated ‘Luckipore, August, 1796,” runs as 
follows :— 
‘Tn this catalogue are the names of such plants as I met with 


quently mistaken, as the name given me may have been generic or 
perhaps trivial. After my return to Calcutta, I shewed the drawings 
and dried pl he

were known to him. Before I conclude, I must acknowledge ™Y 
obligations to my friend Roxburgh, who with a liberality inspired 


The enumeration of the title, which runs: ‘ Enumeratio Plantarum

“‘ diversa species.’

GEN — A curious blunder of wide acceptance has 

eibinee sais 462 ae hiewiedenci in consequence of its occurrence if 
a proof which passed through my hands a few wee a ago. In it 

thers was this statement :—‘‘ Gentiana tenella, Fries, in Act. Ha 

x. p. 346.” As I wished to — the date of the voles I referred 


page, with the date 1770; the elder Fries was not born till 1794, 
and therefore it was a manifest impossibility that the species should 
be of his negra twenty-four years before his birth. Tracing 
the error back, through Hooker’s Flora of British India me p. 109); 
and the Journal a the Linnean a (Botany), xiv. (1875) p- 
I came to this form in DC. Prod. ix. p. 98 (1845), “sees Grisebach 
monographed the Gentianacee, as ‘ Fries in act. Hafn. 10, p- 4 436, 
2, f. 6, a. 1770.” This was an altered form of the "formula 
employed by the same author in his Gen. et Sp. Gent. p. 248 (1839), 
where it runs thus: ‘Friis in act. Hafn. 10, p. 486.” I had sus 
pected the source of error before I arrived at this, a nd it may now 
confidently said that Grisebach had formerly referred to the 
place of publication, where ©. Friis Rottboll described and 
Sgaeea the species; but when he came to deal with the same plant 


THE PRIMROSE AND DARWINISM 297 


in DC. Prod., he failed to realize his mistake of having cited the 
Christian name only in his earlier work, and by some slip of the 
pen or printer’s error the name was altered to ‘‘ Fries.’”. From the 
foregoing it will be inferred that the true citation should run

Tux malformation of the flower of endemic orchids is treated in 
detail by Dr. Gustay Stenzel in a recent number (Heft 56 of 
the Bibliotheca Botanica. In an introductory chapter the author 
discusses the value, from the point of view of morphology, ° 
malformations generally, with special reference to the female cone 
of Abietinee. He reviews the various cases which have been 
described by himself and others, from Alexander Braun onwards, 
and their bearing on the vexed question of the morphology of the 

cone 


cases where they present a series of transitional forms. 
As regards the orchids, the author has confined himself to cases 
of departure from the normal type occurring in endemic species

the bearing of a ban on problems of floral morphology. 

For instance the structure of the inferior ovary, which, 

though senetialis scannled as representing the union between three 

carpels and the interior of a hollow floral axis, has also been 

explained as arising from the union of the carpels with the lower

Dr. Stenzel finds that abnormalities may be cited in favour of either

forms in orderly development from Verticillaria Solani, through 
Fusarium Solani and Cephalosporium, to Nectria Solani, which, with 
its resting-spores, closes the cycle of seasonal growth. He pointed 
out the diffien ulty of culture in the matter of parasitic species, a 
difficulty which might in the future be overcome, cultures hitherto 
having necessarily been confined to saprophytic species capable of 
cote th in nutrient media. 
E latest part of the Bibliotheca Botanica (Heft 57, Stuttgart, 
1903) S6idiats of a paper by F. Heydrich on the tetrasporangium 
. the Floride@, in which he continues the serie of his researches 
n the manner of their development. He fin strong “organic 
similarity” between the auxiliary-cell of the fertilized carpogonium 
and the tetrasporangium mother-cell. In the one case the sporo- 


variegata Zan., two cells are given off from a pericentral cell, the 

lower one being designated by Heydrich the stalk-cell ee 
or karyoplastic cell, and the upper one the protospore cell.

seeing that that reasonable arrangement was inaugurated in 189 . 
Tue British Museum has lately acquired a very interesting 

volume containing drawings in colour of the animals and plants ¢

Smith, and published in 1790 his Journal of a Voyage to New South 

ales ; one or two of Watling’s drawings were executed for White. 
The newly acquired volume contains several views of Sydney, which 
are of great interest. 

Ayotuer collection of early coloured drawings of Australian 
plants was referred to by Mr. J. H. Maiden in his presidential address 
recently delivered to the Linnean Society of New South Wales. 
These were executed by John William Lewin, A.L.S., from about 


1805 to 1808 for Governor and Mrs Most of the drawings

Field, who was in the colony from 1816 to 1824. 

Tue third part of Mr. F. N. Williams’s Prodromus Flore Bri- 
tannice, which will include a revision of the British Hieracia, will 
be issued in the autumn. The subscribers to the earlier parts, of 
which only a few copies remain on hand, will of course have first 
claim on the new part, and the number available for casual pur- 
chasers will be but small. 

the second part of Etudes sur la Flore du Katanga, published 
last month, Dr. De Wildeman establishes four new genera of Legu- 
minose—Dewindtia, Droogmansia (Dolichos pteropus Baker, Meibomta 
Stuhimanni Hiern, and M, megalantha Hiern), Vignopsis, and Lieb- 
rechtsia (Vigna Kotschyi Schweinf.). Numerous new species of 
various orders are described, and twenty-two admirable plates by 
A. d’Apreval are included in the part. 


- It was known that wheat could be grown from seed cor 
probably taken from the granary of Joseph, but the ‘mummy pea 
1s, we think, a novelty, an ancient novelty, if the term may be used.” 

€ are sometimes asked where an easily accessible confutation 
of the venerable and popular fiction of ‘mummy wheat” ma 
found, it may be worth while to refer to a paper by Mr. Carruthers 
in Nature Notes for January, 1895.

Amone the questions relating to the erp of grate 
Gardens which have lately been asked in the House of Commo 
was one suggesting ‘that the practice of labelling dawene bites, 

and trees in Latin shall be discontinued, and English substituted ; 
or that side by side with the Latin description isi] the name shall 
appear in English.” The absurdity of this suggestion is of course 
manifest to any one having the very slightest acquaintance with the 
facts of the case; but we are surprised to learn that, in their new 
edition to the Hand-list of Herbaceous Plants, the Kew authorities 
have @ given what are supposed to be English names. A rev viewer in 


mistakes are many. nder Brassica is given ‘cabbage’ for the 
whole genus; under Arwm is ‘lords and ladies’ or: the whole genus;

This remarkable plant seems referable to the suborder Casalpinee, 
though I am not prepared to say in which tribe of that suborder it 
should be placed, as not one of them seems exactly suitable. it 
may be remarked that it shows some affinity with the Swartzica, 
for the flower reminds one somewhat of that of Cordyla; but Am- 
Phoranthus has a calyx certainly lobed while in the bud, and not 
entire in that state and splitting subsequently: with this exception, 
1t would only be necessary for the stamens and ovules of Cordyla to 

reduced in number and the disk greatly diminished to arrive at 
the structure of the new plant. :

this author of his Ruellia somalensis (Bot. Jahrb, xx. p. 14), which 
later became Satanocrater somalensis Lindau, creates the suspicion 
that S. somalensis and Hemacanthus coccineus may be one and the 
Same thing, although there are certain discrepancies in the two 
descriptions.* This is a point which Lindau will himself be able 
0 clear up, as he has access to 9. somalensis, and can compare that 
plant with the figure of the other. What I wish to do here is to 
defend myself against the appearance of having neglected literature. 
As a fact, I saw the description of the alleged Ruellia, but i 
mediately passed it over, as I did not think it possible for anyone, 
least of all for so accomplished a botanist as Lindau, to take for a 
Ruellia the plant I was dealing with. Perhaps this hesitation of 
Lindau’s between Ruellia and Satanocrater, two absolutely different 
although neighbouring genera, may be taken as affording fair proof 
of my judgment not being at fault in proposing a new genus for 
the reception of the plant under notice. Anyway, I do not feel 
inclined to recede from my position, and regret that we should be 
at variance, : 

What S. paradoxa Lindau and §. Ruspolii Lindau are I do not 
know. Mr. . Clarke (FU. Trop. Afr. v. p. 69) says the latter is 
only the old 9. fellatensis Schweinf., and he makes S. paradoxa a 
synonym of S. somalensis, which I cannot help thinking to be 
Incorrect,

Again I recall the obligations due from gs botanists to the 
excellent series of 2 selected and prepared specimens issued 
by Messrs. Linton (1896-1901), which facilitate poem eri r 
continental forms, and will materially assist in the most desirable 
reduction of the number of alleged ‘‘ endemic s sasaed ” among the 
British members of the genus. And in this connection, in the 
course of going through similar series of exsiccate issued by Scandi- 
navian hieraciologists, I cordially endorse Mr. Hanbiege state- 
ment that occasions are not wanting in which more than one name 
has been given to the same plant.

On reference to our memoranda and to specimens obtained in 
the os aa of Porthcawl when botanizing there in 1898 and 
1899, it seems that we can sg ins the list published by Messrs. 
Marshall cat Shoolbred (p. 248). The district is undoubtedly a 
rich one, and if well searched would be likely to yield more go ood 
plants than those enumerated. It is very probable that the alien

Mendel’s Principles of Heredity. (With Portrait.) By Ww. Bateson, 
M.A., F.R.S. Pp. xii, 212. Cambridge University Press. 
June, 1902. Price 4s. net. : 

Eneutsn biologists will be grateful to Mr. Bateson for his 
championship of Mendel as one of the pioneers in the application 
of exact methods in the study of evolution, mainly based on 
experimental observations on the affinities of closely allied forms 
of flowering plants. 

ohann Mendel was born in 1822 at Heinzendorf, in 


fi priest. — 
natural science at Vienna, he returned to his cloister, and became 
a teacher in the High School at Briinn. He was subsequently made 
bbot of Briinn, and died there 6th January, 1884. The experi- 
ments deseribed in his papers were carried out in the garden of his

cloister, and were chiefly concerned with the phenomena, physio- 
logical and statistical, of hybridization. Alone and unknown, from 
1865 to the close of his life, Mendel worked at the deepest problems 
of plant-biology, 
“Voyaging through strange seas of thought alone,” 

and, as Mr. Bateson rightly says in his spirited attack on the 
illogical exposition and irrelevant criticism of Mendel’s views by 
Prof. W. F. Weldon,* had Mendel’s wor i 
Darwin, it is not too much to say that the history of the develop- 
ment of evolutionary philosophy would have been very different 
from that which we have witnessed. 


Gartner, Dean Herbert, Lecoq, and Wichura, have devoted a part 
Wichura’s profound 


stag recent history of phyt true spirit of 
philosophic inquiry pervaded all the investigations which el

the immediate erossing of two forms, have cases the sam 


experiments, the exactly opposite phenomenon seems to be exhibited. 

Now, according to Wichura, the hybrids of Salix reproduce them- 

selves like pure species. In Hieracium, may we not take it we

Agriculture, this and other developments in a practical direction 
may be set on foot. In this connection it may be pointed out that 
the absence of any popular guide to Kew Gardens deprives them 
almost entirely of their instructional value, so far as the general 
public is concerned. It is remarkable, considering the importance 
which is supposed to be attached to the increase of educational 
facilities, that such a Guide, which existed throughout the direc- 
torates of the Hookers and extended to thirty editions, should for 
so many years have been allowed to lapse. ‘The last edition, pre- 
pared by Prof. Daniel Oliver, with a iiiie illustrations b 

Fitch, eerie a large amount of valuable and interesting infor-

was primaril intended as a guide. But we fail to conjecture how 
the public are to benefit by the arid and valley ‘‘hand-lists ” which 
have taken its place.

An instructive paper on the geographical distribution and

in Bohemia is published by J. Podpéra in the Beihefte zum Botanischen 
Centralblatt, xii. 1902, pp. 1-88. The two subgenera Cladodium and 
Eubryum are respectively northern and southern in their main dis- 
tribution. Cladodium reaches its greatest variability in the Baltic

We are glad to note that Prof. Percival’s excellent manual of 
Agricultural Botany (Duckworth & Co.; price 7s. 6d.), which was 
iced in this Journal for 1900, p. 395, has reached a second 
edition. The fact that a new edition has so soon been called for is 
sufficient evidence that it supplied a want; the present issue “ has 
ear emended and revised throughout in accordance with recent 
work,” 


Tue recent part of Mr. J. M. Wood’s Natal Plants finishes the 
third volume, to which an index and preliminaries are supp ied ; 
the second volume will shortly be completed. The plates in this 
instalment show an advance on those of previous issues, but we 
could wish that the species selected for figuring were of greater 
botanical interest, although doubtless Mr. Wood has reason for his 
choice. The literary portion might be improved, and some of the 
notes—e.y. that on the nomenclature of Coccinia (misspelt Coceinea) 
ue have been omitted without detriment to the value of the 
work, 


Tux Pharmaceutical Journal for Aug. 16 contains the presidential 
address on the botany and botanists of Seotland, delivere by Mr. 
G. C. Druce at the Annual Meeting of the British Pharmaceutical 
Conference held at Dundee on Aug. 12. 

A monocrarn of the genus (nothera (or “Qnothera,” as the 
author prefers to call it) has been published at Le Mans by the 
Abbé H. Léveillé, with the collaboration in the anatomical portion 
of M. Ch. Guffroy. It is illustrated with not very satisfactory ™ 
productions of photographs, as well as by anatomical details, and 
seems a careful piece of work, though somewhat dear at 100 francs. 

We have received Part i., containing the Pteridophyta, Gymno 
sperms, and Monocotyledons, of the Flora Arctica, e ited by Dr- 
C. H. Ostenfeld, and published by the Carlsberg Fund at Copen- 
hagen. We hope to notice it in an early issue.

EPHEMERUM STELLATUM IN BRITAIN. 
By W. E. Nicuotson. 
(Puate 442.) 


E sandy clay soil in the neighbourhood of Crowborough, in 
the north of the county of Sussex, is particularly rich in Ephemera, 
and I have already gathered there Z. serratum Hpe. in abun 
with the var. angustifolia Bry. Hur., EF. sessile Rab, and the var. 
brevifolium Schp., and Nanomitrium (Hphemerum) tenerum Lindb.

Li. sessile var. brevifolium, but examination with a lens showed that 
less. 


, Kent, mounted in a micro-slide with a form of 
fi. serratum, with which it was growing, without exhibiting any 


at my disposal, s much struck by the apparent resemblance of 
my plant to . stellatum Philib., as described by Boulay (Muscinées 
de la France, , an r. Dixon, to whom I sent specimens, 


8 * 
which he was good enough to examine and compare with the 
original material. His report was that my plant differed but little 


panulate, as in the late Prof. Philibert’s plant. have found, 
however, that in the smaller barren stems of the Crowborough 
plant the leaves are quite as stellate in arrangement as in the 
stems which Mons. Husnot sent me; and, with regard to the 
calyptra, that when uninjured it is campanulate, and the cucullate 
appearance noticed by Mons. Husnot was no doubt due to the fact 
that the mounted stems which I had sent him had been subjected 
to considerable pressure, which had split the calyptra on one side, 
living it a cucullate appearance. : ec) 

he following diagnosis is practically a translation of the original 
one given by the late Prof. Philibert in La Revue Bryologique for 
1879, p. 68 :—

888 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 


Prothallium branched, producing small simple and isolated 
plunts; stem very short, furnished with about twenty leaves, 
which diverge in the form of a star, and thus give the species a 
peculiar appearance. The leaves are stiff, flat, and straight, and 
are thereby distinguished very clearly from those of FH. serratum, 
which, on the contrary, are concave and incurved, so as to envelope 


swelling, which is convex on both surfaces, and the swollen cells of 
which are filled with large opaque granules. This base is quickly 
contracted into a narrow elongate limb, which is regularly acuminate. 
In the swollen base the cells are very large, hexagonal, almost as 
broad as they are long; they become more elongate in the limb— 
from four to seven times as long as they are broad. The male and 
female flowers terminate distinct stems. The oval, orange, apiculate 
capsule is a little smaller than that of FE. serratum, but of the same 
colour and general appearance. The calyptra is relatively larger, 
covering two-thirds of the capsule.’ Vaginula oval; seta distinct. 
Spores round, yellowish, smooth, up to ‘045 mm. in diameter, not 
much more than half that of the spores of EZ. serratum.

the corolla is markedly smaller than is that of B. taitensis, and, 
when examined, may prove so different from it as, together with 
the other discrepancies already sesitaitiea, will justify the seam 3

By J. A. Wuetpon, F.L.S., and Atserr Witson, F.L.S. 


Tue plants enumerated in the following pages are principally 
species discovered in West Lancashire since the publication of our 
previous lists in this Journal. 10se ich are penennne rs new 
county records are indicated by an asterisk. A few other species 
are included, e either in sept of aa records, or because their 
rarity in the vice-county renders the discovery of an additional 
station a matter of interest. Aliens and denizens have the obelisk 
sign prefixed. 

We have to thank Mr. C. Bailey, F.L. = Mr. H. Beesley, and 
the . P. J. Hornby for information specimens; and the 
records they have been good pan to sini are denoted by their 
respective initials—C. B., i. B., or P.J.H. We have also availed 
ourselves of a few items that were phere Mr. L. Petty’s

and a third is also one that would not have been predicted, namely,

and wind on a barren soil; this year it was very handsome fro 


feature, and Galeopsis Ladanum is plentiful, but not typical. 

Not far from Dungeness a large quantity of gulls could be seen 
flying around one or two spots, and these proved to be some fresh- 
water pools where the black-headed gull nests, but the herring 
gulls appear to be driving out the original occupiers. Round the 
ponds is doubtless some peat deposit, for Lastreaa Thelypteris, Carex 
diandra (C. teretiuscula), and Comarum palustre, and other marsh 
and bog plants, are found. Near them I saw a curious state of 
Festuca arundinacea growing in the shingle, in which the root and 
lower part of the stem were much developed, while the panicle was 
considerably reduced. But space will not allow me to go into 
further details.

THE EUROPEAN SPECIES OF SEMATOPHYLLUM. 
By Exizaseta G. Brirron. 


In part twenty-one of the British Moss Flora Dr. Robert 
Braithwaite has adopted the genus Sematophyllum in the — in 
which Mitten originally founded it. It will be seen by the follow- 
ing synonymy that it has the right of priority as a genus oe 
Raphidostegium, and that the latter is antedated as a subgenus by 
Aptychus C.M.

Paris, in the Indew Bryologicus, listed 295 species of Raphidostegium 
and 124 of Sematophyllum, with the type-species of the latter in- 
eluded in the former; he also reduced the genus Pungentella C.M. to 
Sematophyllum. Carl Miiller continued to use his names Aptychus

and Sematophylium as long as he lived. He published nine species

ORIGIN OF THE DEADNETTLES IN BRITAIN.* 
By §. T. Dunn, B.A. 


Seven species of Deadnettles have been recorded for the British 
flora, and for the purposes of the present paper they may be placed 
in three groups according to the kind of situations in which they

To begin with the first group, it is necessary to enquire what is 
the present distribution of L. Galeobdolon (Yellow Archangel), for,

or absence of special species except such as is afforded by the 
necessarily meagre evidence of geology. Various deposits con- 
taining plant remains, and supposed to date from pre-glacial right 
up to Roman times, have been discovered in England, and Mr. 
Clement Reid has summarized the facts obtainable from these 


new and previously undisturbed land in England is first 
entered by man, and as soon as he has begun to make fields, 
villages, and roads, certain weeds spring up which have never 
grown there before. Among these some of the Deadnettles very 
frequently find a place. 

eeing, then, that man reached England from the Continent, 
and that these weeds grow abundantly there, it is fair to assume 
that they arrived in this country at about the same time as he did, 
and by his means. How they came to be man’s companions in his

the species left its native forests when man first prepared the way

Great Britain. Here, therefore, it would seem to be an introduced 
plant, far from its native country, but it has gained a footing which 
it will doubtless maintain, unless, for any reason, man and his 
operations should cease. 

This explanation of the introduction of Lamium album seems 


but there is another possible one that has been advanced in the 
of some other weeds whic

that, prior to human occupation, these disturbed spots may have

868 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 


BOOK-NOTES, NEWS, 4c. 


Tue Thirteenth Report of the Missouri Botanic Garden is mainly 
occupied by a revision of the Yuecew by the Director, Mr. William 
Trelease, of which we hope to say more next month. A new genus, 
Samuela—dedicated by the author to his ceittle son Sam Farlow 
Trelease, who in the springs of 1900 and 1902 accompanied and 


specific name: what will the Rochester codists say to this? The 
volume is, as usual, profusely and admirably illustrated. 

We are glad to notice an improvement in the spelling of the 
English notices in the Botanisches Centralblatt, but there is cag 
abundant room for further advance. In no. B4, for example, 

A. L. Batters is disguised as “EH. G. L. Balters, % aiid the Ft 
‘appeared ” is divided into two equal parts. On another page of 
the same hamper, localities and authorities are indistinguishably 
printed—e. « Oldenlandia apse Salisbury, Cynanchum precov 
Schlechter ’ the former bei a place and the latter a person. 
Prof. Bower's name appears am nong the editorial staff at the head 
of each number, and it may be suggested that proofs of the notices 
relating to English work should be referred to him or their author 
for revision. 

Tue Rey. E. Paque, 8.J., has published (Wesmael- -Charlier, 
Ines a ‘4 lore laine et deco iptive des Provinces de Namur et de 
Lua The work includes the commoner cultivated ee 
gs is tea by 841 not very satisfactory figures, apparen tly 
taken from various sources. 

Tue Flora Arctica, edited by Dr. C. H. aap which the 
first part, containing the eee Wink Gymnosperme, and Mono- 
cotyledones, by O. * Geler and C. H, Ostenfeld, pe fatale been 
published at Copenhagen, i is to contain the whole of the Flowering 
Plants and Ferns of the Arctic Regions ‘north of the Wood 
boundary.” The whole of Greenland is included, but Iceland 
and the Scandinavian Peninsula are left out. This of course makes 
some difference in the range in Europe and Asia; in the latter the 
—T vegetation is much less rich in species. The figures are mostly 

ood, but it seems a pity that the examples selected for drawing 
should be from countries not included—e. g. Iceland, Norway, &e. 


Soc. xxiii. pp. 251-348, 1860). The printing is clear and distinct; 
the Gusaeeca. so far as one can test them offhand, are distinctive 
and clear, and the — decidedly helpful. With regard to the 
eee probably if the herbaria of this country could have been 
sulted it would have resulted in many additions—thus Potamo- 
panei sie us Balb. occurs in Alaska; P. rie as L. must come 
very near in America, fs Lewis River, lat. 62°,” &. A curious slip 
oceurs in a date at p. 72: “C. gracilis Curt, Fl. Lond. 1877-87; 
p. 282 ’’—the date of this is about 1788. The volume, when com- 
tiated, will be a valuable contribution to Arctic Botany.—A. B.

barren stems. There is also a tracing of a drawing (with “‘peristom. 
Osculatia” written beneath) representing a simple tome of 
sixteen teeth. This i drawing which appears as fig. 7, 
tab. vi. in De Notaris’s published account of the species. On dis- 
Secting one of the capsules of this specimen, it was found that the 
Peristome was far too immature to allow of its structure being 
studied. I then obtained on loan, through the courtesy of Prof. 
R Pirotta, the type-specimen of O. columbica from De Notaris’s 
rium at the R. Istituto ed Orto botanico di Roma. The type- 
Specimen consists of a stem bearing one capsule, a few stems with 
Sete but without capsules, and a few barren stems. Not having 
Permission to dissect the single capsule, I endeavoured to ascertain

other South American mosses. An examination of the areolation 


Meesiacea, as De Notaris and Schimper supposed ; as, although the 
cells in the lower part of the leaf are here and there shortly rect- 
angular or subquadrate, those in the upper part of the leaf are 
distinctly hexagonal (cfr. fig. 9). This upper areolation, and the 
shape of the leaf with its recurved margins, strongly suggested 
affinity with Bryacee. On looking through the descriptions of the 
species of Bryum given in Mitten’s Musei Austro-americani, I found

identity of the two was apparent. Further, a study of the specimens 
of B. globosum showed clearly that the plant was not generically 
distinct from Brywm, but belonged to the section Brachymenium of 
that genus. 

The structure of the inner peristome, which is well seen in the 
capsules of Spruce’s collecting (nr. 812) is rather curious. e

Further (/.c. p. 447), in his Conspectus Fabrontacearum, the inner 
peristome of Schwetschkea is described as consisting of.“ cilia 16

In thie genus Schwetschkea Miiller described three new species, 
and also referred to it Neckea pyymea Dozy & Molkenb. Ann. Sci. 
Nat. iii. sér. mu. 813 (1844). Of the la Akad species, and of two 

other species, viz. Pterogonium lawum Wils. Lond. Journ. of Bot. 

vii. 276 (1848), and Neckera gracillima Tayl. l.c. 192, Miiller_ob- 
served as follows :—‘* Wie weit es pygmea Dz. et Mb., welche 
die Bryol. Javanica (ii. p. 180) gewiss ganz richtig als Fabroniacee

stark, dass die N. pygmen von Borneo eine Schwetschkea sei, weshal

Now, the fundamental generic character of 'Saksoesshidd is found, 
according to Miiller, in the structure of the inner peristom e, which 
is vagy by this author as consisting of cilia-like teeth ‘with no 
trace of a basal n turning to the figures of Leskea

see an authentic fruiting specimen of S. pygm@a, but an authentic 
barren example from Borneo in the British Museum Herbarium 
agrees perfectly in vegetative characters with Dr. Geheeb’s plant ; 
and, further, the latter agrees so well—except in one particular 
mentioned below—with the description and figures of the fruiting 
-plant of 8. pygmea given in Musci Archip. Ind., that I feel little

description of the inner peristome (‘cilia membrana basilari

of the most slender forms of C. flexuosus, especially var. paradoxus, 
the shorter forms closely resembling C. pyriformis. Very slender, 

1-2} in. high, bright or yellowish green above, yellowish brown below; 
i peti aM radiculose, densely tufted. Leaves frequently longer than 
n the type (6-10 mm. including the hair- point), but much narrower,

half of the lamina usually rhomboid, thin-walled. 

Early in 1899 Mr. D. A. Jon aye of Harlech, sent me a specimen 
of Raat on collected by him o n Moel-yr-Ogof, Carnarvonshire, 
in April, 1898, having much the appearance of C. pyriformis, but 
a “iistinet hyaline ‘points to the leaves, for which no reersricis

and exposed situation. It appeared probable that the hyaline point 
was due to an abnormal, perhaps pathological condition, due to 


no e prob dur 
which I paid to North Wales. I ascended Cader Idris on one of 
those sultry days in July which field-botanists will probably not 
have forgotten, least of all any who chose one of them to climb a 
mountain on its south side. Among the very few mosses of interest 


apex is another very striking character; 
arista, and even of the coloured portion of the subula for — 
distance below this, being frequently as little as 25-30 p, and no 
rarely as low as 20 »; a character best appreciated, perhaps, by 

an the width of a single

cells with an oblique sigmoid curve, usually having the walls con- 
siderably thickened ; at times this is carried to such an extent that 
they are properly described as vermicular. In the variety under 
notice the transition rarely takes place; the upper cells differing 
little from those of the uppermost part of the expanded base, only 
showing a tendency to become rounded at the angles and hence 
rhomboid-elliptical, and at the same time somewhat oblique in their 
direction. In this, however, there is some variation, as plants occur 
that must be referred to the variety, but with the areolation almost 
as in the type. As is frequent in this species, the hair-points are 
often very short or wanting in many of the leaves.

__C. adustus De Not. is of a different habit, very short, but with 
wider, shorter leaves, and, according to Limpricht, the stereid cells

abit, pale colour, and leaf-characters are so marked in the 
plant here described, and the localities in which it has been gathered so 
numerous and widespread, that I have felt no hesitation in describing 
it as a variety; at the same time I am quite aware that transition 


NEW VARIETIES OF BRITISH MOSSES 877 


forms do occur, starved states of the type also at times taking on a 


close resemblance toit. The localities from which I have records of 


the var. gracilis are as follows (I have seen specimens of all except the 
Broadford plant referred to by Fergusson) :—Broadford, Skye (Fer- 
gusson) ; Glen Phee, 1868 (Fergusson, in Herb. Wils.); Lake District 
(probably about High Style), 1870 (Barker); Loch Coruisk, Skye, 
1881 (Barker); Cader Idris (Weyman, 1893; Dixon, 1901); Moel- 
yr-Ogof, Carnarvonshire, 1898 (Jones); Cwm Idwal and Clogwyn- 
du-ar-ben-y-Glyder, 1899 (Jones); Cwm Bychan, Merioneth, 1899 
(Jones) ; Roadside near Talsarnau, Merioneth, 1901 (Jones ¢& Dixon), 

Weisia curvirostris ©. M. var. instants, var. noy. Very tall and 


robust, 3-5 in. high, forming large masses on the face of moist or 


dripping rocks; dark or brownish green above, brown or blackish 
below, stems closely tufted and often radiculose, but rarely matted 
together and never fragile or encrusted. Leaves long (2 mm.), 
loosely set, when dry divergent below, curled and incurved above, 
when moist widely spreading from an erect subsheathing base; gradually 
tapering from a distinctly enlarged base (‘4-5 mm. wide) to a sub- 
acute point; upper cells rectangular and subquadrate, pellucid. 


Capsule narrowly elliptic, tapering to a distinct neck, dark brown, 


thick-walled. ‘ 
I gathered this plant for the first time in 1893, on wet rocks in» 
the gully running down from Meall-nan-Tarmachan, Perthshire, 


‘into the little Loch-na-Lairige, but was quite unable to identify it, 


as was also Dr. Braithwaite, who sent it to Mr. Mitten. The latter 


-wrote as follows :—‘* The moss you send from Perthshire is, or is 


supposed to be, a state of the old Dicranum virens ; it is so different- 


only slightly less robust, and also differing in being to some extent 
encrusted with carbonate of lime, which is never the case with our

plant. On the other hand, Schimper’s variety cataractarum differs 
as described in some important characters from our Scotch plant, 
notably in the capsule, which is ovate or subglobose,* while in ours 
it is narrow and elongate, as described above; the leaves are also 
described as softer, chlorophyllose, and (by Boulay) narrow, none of 
which characters are appropriate to our plant. Moreover, specimens 
of the var. cataractarum issued by Schimper himself in his Pugillus 
(Pissevache, Valesiz, leg. Schimper) are entirely different in habit, 
and far nearer W. curvirostris type. I am inclined to suspect it may 
turn out that No. 499, Krypt. Badens, really belongs to the var. now 
under discussion, and is wrongly placed under the var. cataractarum. 
This presupposes that it has only been found in the sterile condition, 
which is certainly the case with the British Museum specimen 

The distant, widely-spreading leaves, almost at right angles to 
the stem, give a characteristic appearance to the var. insignis when 
moist, by which it may be recognized at sight when once known; in 
neither the moist nor the dry condition does it bear much resemblance 
to the ordinary forms of W. curvirostris. The colour also differs 
somewhat from that of most forms of W. curvirostris, is 
usually pale below; in the variety here described the lower part 
of the stems are brown or blackish, and, as mentioned above, not 
encruste 

I have it in my herbarium from the following localities, all 
collected by myself :—Ben Laoigh, c.fr. and sterile; Meall-nan- 

armachan; Acharn Falls; Cam Creagh; Lochay Bridge; Tyndrum 

(all in Perthshire); Glencoe and Ballachulish, Argyleshire ; Inchna- 
damph, Sutherland. 


Dirricuum zonatum Limpr. var. SCABRIFOLIUM, var. Nov. Leaves, 
especially in upper part and frequently to base, scabrous with dense 
conical papilla, frequently on both sides of lamina and at back of 
nerve. 


Has. Near top of Ben Laoigh, Perthshire side, 81 Aug. 1901 
(Sir Jas. Stirling) ; near summit of Ben Lomond (Mrs. Cunninghame 
Graham) ; near summit of Ben Chalum, Perthshire, 20 July, 1898 
(Binstead ¢& Divon). All sterile. 

All the authorities whom I have consulted unite in giving smooth 
cells as a character of Ditrichum Timm (= Leptotrichum Hampe). 
“Folia omnino levia” (Schimper); “ feuilles lisses” (Boulay) ; 
 Blattzellen glatt ’’ (Limpricht) indicate one of the chief characters 
attributed to the genus, and frequently to the whole tribe of Lepto- 
trichace@ ; and I am not aware that any exception has been found 
to the rule among the fifty species enumerated for the genus 
Ditrichum by CG. Miiller (Genera Muscorum). The roughness of 
the subula in D. tenwifolium Lin is due to the nerve and 
to the projecting ends of the cell-walls, not to any true papil- 
losity of the cells of the lamina. The variety now described is 
therefore a specially interesting and striking one, and did the plants 
cited above stand alone, it would have seemed more satisfactory to

as probably a synonym of his var. — ay

consider them as forming an independent species, and possibly to 
refer them to a different genus. It fortunately happens, however, 
that side-lights thrown on the question by some other plants prove 
that this would have been an error. In the Ben Laoigh plant,

upper cells are frequently slightly papillose; not so markedly nor 
so constantly so, I think, as to justify its being placed under the 
present variety, but sufficiently to connect the variety indisputably 
with the smooth-leaved typical plant. The same is the case with a 


Ferg., which in my opinion belongs to the same variety. The 
smoothness of cells attributed to Ditrichwn must therefore be 
considered as not absolutely constant, at any rate In the short-

latter’s narrow and involute leaves. The leaves are, however, con- 
siderably shorter than those of G. Zeyheri, and, being crowded upon

differences from G. Zeyhert are the absence of ray-florets, the

HYBRIDITY IN AIERACIUM. 
By Freperic N. Witwiams, F.L.S. 


In a note in the last number of this Journal (p. 362) there is a 
disposition, it seems, to beg the question all along the line. In the 
first place, it is doubtful ae ‘‘it is highly desirable”’ in this 
utilitarian age “that some acute and careful botanist should make 
a lifelong study of this nope difficult genus.” We have already had 
several object- lessons in the effects of such concentration of effort 
on critical siege a, and their results are not encouraging. What w 
invariably see, in such an extremely limited sphere of work, is over- 
deicrisninaton oe trivial differences, a tendency to describe an ex- 
cessive number of individuals, see” Sige in grasping the significance 
of salient characters, and obscuring of the capacity to pick out the 
connecting strands of affinity ae groups of species; in fact, 
inability to see the wood for the tre 

The genus Hieracium includes oe an extraordinary number of 
distinet ona that no other genus of flowering plants can compare 
with it. Some of das forms, indeed, are distinguished by special 
peculiarities, and may be taken as type-forms of species, while all 
the ct represent iplerenodaans and Sate tinal forms by which the 
type-forms are connected together. On the protean character of 
the aonsties nt members of this genus much has been written, and 
Many controversies have arisen, without as yet coming to a definite 
conclusion generally acceptable to all parties. French, German,

which was published in the Transactions of the Society in the year

represents a large amount of work at a group then but little studied. 
On his return to England Comber took up the study of the distri- 
bution of British phanerogams. A short note on Manchester plants 
appeared in this Journal for 1872, p. 876, in which subsequently 


(1874) were printed abstracts of his excellent papers on the world-

Comber’s publications, however, give but a poor notion of his

on which no expense was spared. Some idea of the extent of these 


of phanerogams was presented by him shortly before his death to 
the Victoria University of Liverpool.

GoopyERA REPENS IN Norvoux (p. 825). — This plant has been 
known to grow in Norfolk since 1885, where it was found at 
Westwick (v.-c. 27) by Miss Southwell on July 8th, as recorded 
by the late Mr. Geldart in Trans. Norf. & Norw. Nat. Soc. iv. 255. 
In 1891 Miss A. M. Barnard found it in abundance in the neigh- 
bourhood of Holt; Mr. Geldart, when recording this (op. cit. p. 829, 
1891-2), remarks: ‘ This locality is about twelve miles, as the 
crow flies, from Westwick, where the plant was first found in 1885 
(where it has been since exterminated). It can hardly be regarded 
as truly wild in either locality. The Scotch firs, amongst which it

indigenous to Norfolk. South of Scotland it has occurred in Cum-

In his preface Mr. Robinson acknowledges help from various 
- potanists, and it is to be regretted that he did not take advice as 
to the literary form of his book. It is, for example, unusual to 
separate by a period the authority from the name, especially when 
the former is only divided by a comma from the comital distri- 
bution: thus, ‘Geranium molle . Linn., 112.” ‘Henry C. atson”’ 
and “Robert Spruce” may be regarded as slips ; but the repetition 
of the title of the book at the head of each page might conveniently 
have given place to the name of the order under treatment. ‘some

in the transactions of some local society. In its present shape it 
challenges comparison with more adequate works, and such com- 
parison must be to its disadvantage. The introductory chapters on 
physiography and distribution are well done; the typography is 
good, although the local printer has not been able to resist the 
temptation to introduce “ ornamental headings.” 

The new Flora of the Liverpool District is im many ways an 
attractive book. It is well bound, well printed, copiously illustrated 


manifestly carefully done. Yet of this, as of Mr. Robinson’s book, 
it must be said that it falls short in many ways of the standard

Aloinee and Yuccoidee” (Journ. Linn, Soe. xviii. (1880) p. 148), 
recognized a close association between the Old World Aloe and a 
few allied African genera, on the one hand, and the New World 
nera Yucca, Hesperaloe, Herreria, Beaucarnea, and Dasylirion, com- 
prising the Yuecoidee, on the other. The distinguishing features 
are the thick fleshy leaves and gamophylly of the Aloinee, and the 
less succulent, more fibrous leaves and free petals of the Yuccoidee. 
In the Genera Plantarum (1883), Bentham and Hooker, the groups 
are again closely associated, but the exclusively New World Yuccoidee 
becomes the larger tribe Dracenea by the inclusion of Dracena and 
allied Old World genera. The distinct petals supply the chief 
diagnostic character of the larger group. 
Prof. Engler, in the Pflanzenfamilien (ii, 5, 1888), has adopted 
a different arrangement, placing the 4loinee at some distance from 
Dracenoidee, which he subdivides into Yuccee, including Yucca, and 
the monotypic Texas genus Hesperaloe; Nolinea, also New World, 
with Nolina and Dasylirion; and Dracenea, a small group of Old 
World genera, The petals united at the base in Dracenea separate 
this group from the other two, which are distinguished inter se by 
the insertion of the anthers, and the number, arrangement, an 
colour of the seeds. Mr. Trelease deals only with the small group 
Yuecee, which is characterized by having similar subequal withering 
but persistent perianth-segments, a three-celled ovary with more or 
less intruded dorsal false septa, many ovules in two ranks in each 
cell, a subterete elongated embryo placed obliquely across the seed, 
and germination with arched cotyledon, the seed remaining in or on 
the soil, instead of being directly carried up on the end of the 
cotyledon, as commonly happens in Liliaceae. 
lve genera are recognized—Hesperaloe (2 species), Hesperoyucca 
(1 species), Clistoyucca (1 species), Yucca (28 species), and Samuela 
(2 species) ; the last named has been separated by the author from 
Yueca on account of having the perianth distinctly tubular and, 
gamophyllous below. Clistoyucca is the Yucea arborescens Torr., the 
Joshua tree of the Mohave Desert region, which Mr. Trelease has 
raised to generic rank, adopting the sectional name under whi¢ 
r. Engelmann had distinguished it from the other species of Yucca. 
é numerous and excellent plates, a large number of which 
are photographs from growing plants, are a valuable addition to 
the descriptive text. BR

A NEW SENECIO HYBRID (x 8. ALBESCENS). 
By F. W. Bureipez, M.A., anp Narnanren Conean, M.R.I1A. 
(Puare 444.) 


Amonest the many alien species established in the Co. Dublin 
flora, few are more interesting than the cag aise Ragwort 
known to botanists under res ames Seneci ria DC. and 
Cineraria maritima L. It is now about a Prterrts of a centu 
since Sir Francis Brady, B ae sowed seeds of the plant in his 
garden near Dalkey, and adoring Sorrento Cliffs, as the rocky 
crescent forming the northern limit of Killiney Bay is not in- 
appropriately called. So congenial did this sheltered sea-nook 
prove to the southern stranger, that it slowly ae: steadily pushed 
its way by wind-borne seeds “right ee the sweep of rock, until 
finally it succeeded in almost monopolizing i tae crest to high- 
water mark with its arpa’ trusses of silvery- ite foliage. To-day, 
the plant is a conspicuous feature of the coast at this point, so much 
so that it arrests the attention of even the unbotanical traveller as 
he journeys by rail from Bray to Kingstown. 

n the summer of 1901, one of us, who has paid special atten- 
tion to hybrids and hybridizing, observed what to less practised 
eyes would have seemed aberrant forms of ‘hie alien Senecio growing 
in Sorrento Park a small enclosure of rocky ground which lies 
inland from the cliffs, and at certain points approaches them to 
within a stone’s- throw. The aspect of these plants at once sug- 
gested to him a natural hybrid, a this suggestion was strengthened 
by the peers close at hand of likely parents in the common Rag- 
wort (Senecio Jacobea st and of its Mediterranean congener, 
S. Cineraria DC. The suggestion was not followed up at the 
time: the plants were variable, and it seemed probable that at 
least some of them were rather shade-grown states of the Medi- 
cera species than the result of its natural crossing with our 
common Ragwort. 

pee me the present year, however, we both agreed that these 
evening intermediates were deserving of further study. We ac 
ordingly paid many visits in company to the cliff and their 
helghhonsnend: ee a full series; in various stages of growth, 
of the suspected hybrid and of its probable 5 ape carefully noted 
their range and habit in the field, and fina ed, both i 
fresh and cae: specimens, their minuter Soe ee in flower and 
seed. The result was to convince us that the intermediates 
noticed b oie en us in 1901 were indeed the outcome of a ler) 
eet of Senecio Cineraria DO. with S. Jacobea L. is con- 
may id to be at on circumstantial ai rg than 
on direct evidence, since the extreme pan ncaa n the 
en 


Journat or Borany.—Vou. 40. [Drc. 1908.) " F 


402 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 


forbade any attempt to check our conclusion by the crucial ex- 
periment of making hybrids similar to those we found ready-made 
at Dalkey. 

The available evidence may be most Reeder considered 
under two heads—first, evidence derived from the observed com- 
bination or fusion in the intermediates of Soul characters of their 
assumed parents; second, evidence derived from the sie distri- 
bution of the intermediates in relation to their paren 

Taking these heads of evidence in order, it ma He’ no oted i in the 


one hand, or to S. Cineraria on the other—preserve certain obvious 
distinctive characters by which they may be discriminated at a 
glance. e stems and leaves and involucres are always less 
tomentose than in S. Cineraria and more so than in S. Jacobea, 
while the inflorescence is always more leafy and die pines them- 
selves more finely divided than in the former species, though less 
so than i in the latter. The general tone of colour of the foliage, too, is 
0 


n the interval between June 6th and Aacust 28th of this 
ssf one the ‘Soiey of careful observation was to show that the 
order of flow of the three plants was—first, S. Cineraria; 
second, the Gibstmedinte or hybrid; and last, S. Jacobea. Flower- 
buds sho wed clearly on the first two plants on June 6th, while no 
trace of them was “ti be seen on the neighbouring S. Jacobea; on 
June 14th a few heads of S. Cineraria were in full flower, and some 


aspect. Similarly, with form 6 there was the rte ate of 
tendencies, the same hesitation Mott ¢ akin i Pe ~ brag ts ne. °F 

ascending habit of ts corymb-branches was strongly reminiscent 
of 8. Jacobea, but the souaiiaratie calves “ot its less ample

the hybrid. A fuller statement of its distinctive characters and of 
those of the parent species will now be given. At this stage the 
necessity of naming the plant presents itself, and the questions 


Jacobea occur in the Italian island, they appear there under con- 
ditions highly unfavourable to the production of a natural hybrid. 
The habitat of the first species is given In the Florula (p. 74) as 
‘in rupestribus littoreis”’: the second is set down as very rare, an

while the authors state that they have not seen the plant in

atement of the distinctive ee “ S.

sonny fresh and dried specimens of all three plants, of which 
fairly typical examples are reproduced in the plate accompanying 
this paper :—

- extension of S. albescens w 


as small. Several plants appeared in 


A NEW SENECIO HYBRID 405 


Sorrento Park above the cliffs; others appeared by the roadway 
above the railway at Vico; others again near Cooliemore Harbour, 
about a furlong north of the cliffs ; some even on the summit of the 
os above Khyber Pass, 8. Jacobea in all of these stations occurring 

ose by. But the headquarters of S. albescens were along the 
rail banks and sea-banks at and near Vico sere place, and 
along the cliffs and banks by the sea to the south-westward. 

the assumption of a hybrid origin for the ntamnsdiaiek it 

seems at first rather hard to account for their peculiar absence from 
Sorrento Cliffs, where one of the parents grows in such abundance, 
and at some points within a stone’s-throw of the other parent. The 
pollen of both of the assumed parent species is equally adapted for 
wind- or insect-carriage. Cross-fertilization must have been effected 
by either agency, and it seems just as inadmissible to assume the 
winds to have blown persistently from S. Cineraria towards 
Jacobaa, as to assume the honey- — insects (bees, most ore 
to have invariably travelled in the same direction. he wind 
and the bees must have ee rl in the a. dirsetieai;

aches its maximum, show that the suggested formation of hybrids

since been proved for other species capable of producing freee afc 
that there is a want of reciprocity of cross-fertilization between

while the pond of the latter is inert as regards the ovules of the 
former. There may be, in short, a perfectly free interchange of 
pollen between * ai species, while the fertilizing effect is quite 
one-sided. ‘The sp of the ya he should be thus

Kenr.—In this county the plant was first discovered in 1792 by 
J. Rayer, who found it in a cultivated field near Cobham,* in West 
Kent. In this locality it appears to have held its own from this 
date untilthe present time. In 1895 my brother and I met with it 
growing in the same spot, not very plentifully, certainly, but the 
Rev. K. 8. Marshall (Zora of Kent) reports that it varies in quantity, 
like so many annuals, from year to year. It grew on the rough 
ground one so often finds in and on the borders of fields that are 
let go out of cultivation on the chalk downs, and was associated 
with many of the usual plants of that formation, such as Echium 
vulgare, Oviganum, Ajuga Chamepitys, &e. We could see no obviously 
introduced plants near, but Salvia pratensis was in abundance not 
very far away. = 

A. hirsuta has also been reported from other Kent stations—

ADDITIONAL WEST LANCASHIRE MOSSES & HEPATICS. 
By J. A. Wuetpon, F.L.S. ., AND ALBERT Witson, F.L.S. 


In the short interval that has elapsed since the publication of 
our "ey list (Journ. Bot. 1901, 294-299) upwards of fort 


ng gi Nat enumerated are several additional Sphagnum 
records, Which bring the West Lancashire total of these up to thirty 
out of the forty-one species said to occur in Great Britain. As the 
varietal forms also occur in almost similar proportion, — no 
district of similar area is very much richer in these plan

Weare greatly indebted to Mr. E. C. Horrell for much help with 
this genus, and no species has been recorded that has not. been sub- 
mittedtohim. For help in other directions we have again to express 
our obligation to Messrs. J. E. Bagnall, H. N. Dixon, 8. M. Mac- 
vicar, and F, Renauld. 

- Mr. H. Beesley, of Preston, has kindly placed many notes and 
specimens at our disposal, and we have inserted below those which 
are new or rare in the vice-county. 

gures preceding localities indicate the three primary topo- 
graphical divisions of the vice-county to be adopted in our Flora of 
the district, and are defined in this Journal for 1899, p. 465. An 
asterisk is used to signify a plant not included in our previous lists, 
and, inferentially, a new vice-comital record. Authorities for plant 
stations are thus contracted—H. B. (Beesley), Wi. (Wilson), and 
Wh. (Wheldon). The authors jointly are responsible for all records 
for which no authority is quoted.

SHROPSHIRE SPHAGNA. 
By W. P. Haminton. 


Numerous British botanists having adopted Dr. Warnstorf’s 

arrangement of the Sphagna, it has been seeing el to publish 

a list of the Shropshire species in accordance with that system, So 
far as —— are known up to the present. 

EK. C. Horrell, re whom we are indebted for a transcription 

into English of Warnstorf’s « European Sphagnacee,” has kindl 

ooked at a large number of specimens, verifying, correcting, oF

Jaming them as required. Some records are taken from Mr. Hor- 
rell’s book; the writer is responsible for others, and a few have been 
named from the synonymy where the cases seemed to admit of it. 
It cannot be regarded as quite certain that the above system 
will be siiatcls apciiited by all the leading or bryologists— 
at any rate without some modifications. So far as it proceeds upon 
definite characters—e. g. the shape, position, ad size of the chloro- 
phyllose cells, and the form and distribution of the pores in the 
walls of the hyaline cells—it works fairly well. In the latter 
respect, however, it leads to the grouping bopether of numerous 
forms hitherto kept distinct; for example, under S. rufe 
Nerden (Horrell’ s a PB 67) are fo and * 8, ao 


e come to varieties the difficulties are greater. The two 
forms of S. recurvum are distinguished by the shape and size of the 
stem-leaves, but stem-leaves of both kinds can be found not seldom 
on one plant. In S. cymbifolium justice can only be done by literal 
quotation—e. g. (op. cit. pp. 77, 78), “ Var. flavo- paige More 
or less yellowish in the ee : times mixed with some blue- 
green, whitish below.’’ ‘ Var. glauco-pallens. The eapitulum een 
to pale yellowish, at times blue- aan whitish below.” Everyon 
knows how a large tussock of Sphagnum shades off into different 
tinted and opinions will differ as to the value of such distinctions 
(of which there are other examples) in pip aie ae botany.

Tue enumeration of Ker’s papers in the Royal Society’s Cata- 
logue of Scientific Papers is curiously unsatisfactory. One is ni 
omitted; five are enumerated as by another author; and there 
no indication that the ‘‘ Gawler” of an earlier period was identical 
with Ker: so that out of ten papers of which he was the author 
only three stand under his name. I have thought it might be 
worth while to enumerate these in - chronological order, and to add 


descriptions in the Botanical Magazine.

Pearson’s Hepatice of 2% Br itis Isles, with an illustration of the 
perigynium. Also the male plant of J. polita is frequent in Scot- 
land, and fruit has been found on the Continent. Cephalozia fluitans 
has its inflorescence on short postical, not side branches as stated. 
The following corrections in the descriptions and notes are neces- 
sary. Frullania germana has frequen tly male spikes resembling 
those of F. Tamarisci, although there are nearly always linear 
spikes on the same plant. Lejeunea tags: can easily be dis-

J. saxicola can hardly be described as ‘‘a very rem markable little

Anthoceros would be placed betw ee ocarpus and ——— 
We consider it unfortunate that some standard work not 
followed in this matter. Regarding the arr a of the mat 
under the genera, we regret to see Jamesonieila Carringtoni replaced 
under Mesophylla. If Spruce’s name is not retained, the most 

natural place for the species would probably be under Plagiochila. 
Baseronullion Donianum bears the name given in Cooke’s Hand- 
book, where it is under Bazzania, an untenable position we consider. 
The ae glibure apparently more resembles that of Du ape 8 
Hepatice Europa than of any other. All specific names, includin 
those which commemorate persons, begin with a small initial ; aii 

period is inserted between the name and the authority: e.g. 
a Plagiochila stableri. Pearson.”’ We see no reason for these de- 
partures from recognized custom; nor do we admire the plan of 
primarily peat ne the specific names, and adding an abbreviation 
of the genus: e.g. “ sta — — Plag.” The synonymy requires 
biareton i in several in "o

rather than political, and include Epirus, Crete, some Turkish

occupy a high place among literary curiosities. ‘The number for

that the volume for 1900 was “in preparation,” and that the pub-

issued in the latter month. It may be mentioned that during the 


reflection upon the work of the Gardens subsequent events 
have justified our protest. The claim of the Bulletin to be ‘ prac- 
tically a continuous record w work in all its branches,’ which 


was put forward at the recent Botanical Commission, can hardly be 
maintained, in face of these remarkable lapses.

BOOK-NOTES, NEWS, ETC. 429 


from Connemara, aan true Tetralix, EH. Mackayi, and E. Stuarti, 
and referred to the new find of E. Crawfordi, at the same time 
pointing out that a well} known garden form—T7’. Lawsoni [F. Law- 
soniana] —had, so far as he could discover, no history, and that it 
probably ma be found in Connemara along with the others. He 
desired to direct the attention of Irish botanists to this last form, 
and also to controvert the statement of Linton in a recent number 
[July, 1902] of the Annals of Scottish Natural History, where he, 
unaware, as since has been found out, of the careful account by 

Dr. J. Muir ——o Macfarlane in the Transactions of the Botanical 
Society of Edinburgh many years ago [xvii. 63, 18922], describes 
as he thinks for the first time the form Stuarti, and makes it out to 
be a *appetie of mediterranea. The question of its being a hybrid was 
discussed by Macfarlane, and by his observations as well as his 
iacledian Balfour’s) own, he is convinced that there is no medi- 
terranea blood in Stuarti, although, as may be seen in rs cro 
Society’s Transactions, he was qinpoed at first to look for som 
relationship with mediterranea.” We find no cestaation in Ds 
Macfarlane’s paper of his ss bee disposition to consider EF. Stua 
related to . mediterranea: he says: ‘‘I must conclude that this j is 
& very pronounced type of divengetie from E. Tetralia:, though the 
points of divergence do not lead to any other British form”; and 
he does not mention having held any other opinion. 

We welcome a fresh instalment of the Flora of China published 


tains the completion of the Salicacee by Mr. I. H. Burkill; the 
Conifere by Dr. Masters; and the Cycad dacee by Sir W. T. Thiselton- 
Dyer. It has been said that the delay in publishing this instalment 
—the preceding appeared in December, 1899—was due : oat 


hardly have been the case, as the order occupies little more liad 
two pages, and includes ‘ely four well-known species. We are gla 
to learn that the.conclusion of the work is not likely to be long 
delayed ; the present volume has taken thirteen years to produce 
and the work began in 1886, so that it cannot present crticins like 
a consistent representation of the Chinese flora at any one period. 
It is to be regretted that the name of the author of each portion 
does not appear at the head of the page.

to which it attains; it is most profuse in its fruits and seeds, and 
seems likely to become more disseminated—indeed, the area which 
it occupies at St. Anne’s has increased from last year, and amy is i 
tending inland. The third alien, Ambrosia artemisiefolia— 
casual in the few places in England where it has pre oul bias 
found, chiefly with ballast—is of Canadian or North American origin. 
Of late years it has been making headway on the Continent, as in 
Den ee ai — Switzerland, Brunswick, the Austrian 
yro t has come there with crop-seeds, especially with 
clover a See sAhhauieh it is termed annual in the American 
Floras, it is only the aerial portion of the plant which dies down 
in the early winter; there is an underground portion, in the form 
of thread-like stolons, or rhizomes, which lives through the winter. 
These slender processes = gpm at right angles from the lower portion 
of the stem about three or four inches below the surface of the

turn to originate similar underground processes. No mature fruits 
have so far been noticed, and it is assumed that the present areas 
occupied by the plant in the sandhills are the result of several years’ 
continuous growth. ‘The fourth alien is a form of Vicia villosa, and 
is distributed over all Kuropean countries, save our own, this being 
probably the first record of its occurrence in Britain ; ‘there is no 
reason why it should not prove aboriginal, as it is found in Scandi-

HARLES Coprineton Presstck Hoss, F.L.S., was born at 
Huddersfield on Fanuaty 18th, 1837. At the age of rota he 
entered the service of the West Riding Union Bank, after 
serving for many years as cashier at Huddersfield he one 
manager of its Dewsbury branch. Afterwards he became manager 
of the repo branch of the Huddersfield Banking yeh 
from this position he retired four years ago, and removed to Hors- 
forth and a rds to Ilkley, where he died on July 29 last. He 
was a man of great geniality +e a wide range of interests, and was 
very popular in the West Ridi He was one of the founders and 


,and an active mem f the 
Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union. Nearly forty years ago he published 
a History of Huddersfield, of which at the time of his death he was 
on a in preparing a third edition. In 1864, in conjunction with 
his friend Mr. G. T. Porritt, the entomologist, he established the 
Nahe list, which afterwards became the organ of the Yorkshire 
Natu ralists’ Union and with which Hobkirk was associated un 
his death. He was best known to botanists by his Synopsis of 
British Mosses, of which the first edition was published in 1873, an 
the second in 1884. He also edited in 1877, in conjunction with ne 
friend the late Mr. Henry Boswell, the Lanne Catalogue of British 
Mosses. Before he took up mosses he worked at p SASEOATLS ; 
his first published paper on Huddersfield Daan appeared in 
Phytologist for December, 1858, and notes on Crategus and Rosa in 
the Naturalist for 1866. Perhaps his most interesting essay— 
which, curiously enough, is unnoticed both in the Index Kewensis 
and in the Royal soatety's Catalogue of Scientific Papers—is that
