STEUART. The Kirkstall plant appears to be correctly named, but
none of the others belong to the ternate-leaved section. Mr Beeby
writes of one of Capt. Wolley Dod's specimens that it seems to him to be P.inclinata, or near it, and I think that the rest of them, as well as Capt. Steuart's from Middlesex, belong to that species. --J.G.
