but which (as already stated under t. CL.) is very different from
the plant so named hy Roth; and has, indeed, more in common
with C. tortuosa, Dillw. I regret that I have been unable recently
to compare my specimens with those found by Carmichael,
and I have therefore relied for the type of this species on the specimens
published in Mrs. Wyatt’s ‘ Algse Danmonienses,’ as that
work is in the hands of many persons. It is possible that in
some collections more than one plant may be confounded under
the name linum, Br. FI., but I trust the figure now given will
sufficiently define what I understand by that exploded species.
Not having been able to identify our British specimens with any
continental species, I have been forced to bestow a new name
on them.
