he plants should not be gathered for ecstatic until of

sufficient age to attain a full state of fructification, The terms employed in the subdivisions of the species, and in characterizing the individuals, should be precisely understood. ‘The attention should be more particularly directed to the lower parts of the leaves, wings, &c. for there it is that the characters are most constant, and most observable, the extreme parts generally run~ ning together so as to baflle every attempt at description.

The following tabular view of the different British species is offered as a means of facilitating their investigation ; the student, therefore, is advised first to compare the plant in question with hese characters, and then to look forward for the characters and descriptions given more at large.
