1
Item is in an unknown hand with some additions and corrections in M’s hand, noted where they occur. The asterisks appear to have been added by M; at the end of most entries there are marks that are probably ‘rest marks’ made by the pen used by M elsewhere in the letter. These marks have not been noted.
2
APNI gives Beauvois as the author of this species; in B82.13.16 M cites the same 1812 source as APNI.
3
Beauvois?
4
APNI gives M as author of this species, but treats the name as invalid.
5
= Agrostis ... Schultes in a different ink from the remainder of the list, but apparently in the same hand.
6
for alpine country in M’s hand.
7
Linné. in M’s hand.
8
A. halepensis?
9
Sibthorp. in M’s hand.
10
montanus in M’s hand, above maritima deleted.
11
A. bombycinus?
12
Corrected from Labillardieré with the same pen used by M elsewhere in the letter.
13
APNI gives Kunth as author of this species.
14
The only variety of this species listed in APNI as described by M is D. penicillatavar. pygmae.
15
APNI gives Kunth as the author of this species.
16
S. micrantha? ‘Stipa macrantha, Cavanill.’ written in a smaller hand below the second ‘J. Hooker’ in this entry, with intended position indicated by an arrow.
17
Below this entry in the MS is a mark that may be the letter ‘P’ or ‘F’, linked with a curved line to ‘=‘ in the entry beginning ‘Dichelachne crinita’ above.
18
E. ovatus?
19
Labillardière in M’s hand, after Lindley, deleted.
20
APNI gives Desfontaines as the author of this species.
21
APNI gives Steudel as the author of this species.
22
N. alopecuroides?
23
APNI gives Beauvois as the author of this species.
24
for sandy deserts only in M’s hand.
25
Labillardière?
26
APNI gives R. Brown as the author of this species.
27
APNI gives Beauvois as the author of this species.
28
Labillardière?
29
Labillardieré has been corrected with the same pen used by M elsewhere in the letter.
30
The final paragraph is in M’s hand. The reference is to B76.13.03 or subsequent editions.
