may, with some certainty, be proposed as a new species. While
the artist was employed upon the plate, I had the pleasure of
receiving M from Captain C a r m i c h a e l , who also finds it at
Appin. f^-om the manner in which it grows where I discovered
It near Edinburgh, I should conjecture it to be far from uncommon,
yet I have never seen it elsewhere than in one spot.
• V continued to keep up the genus Hutchinsia
IS ystema, on account (as he observes in a letter) of the
im n ^ rfv phanerogamic genus of the same
name which he thinks cannot long be sustained. I regret being
^ h g ed to diifer from my friend on this point; for, as long
as Hutchinsia is the prior name for a genus of cruciferous
plants, and continues to remain so, it can scarcely be admitted
among the Algce. For this reason, I have presumed to keep
up my own name for the genus in question.
The specific appellation I have bestowed in honour of the
above-named great Swedish Algologist, the author of the only
general arrangement of Algce.
