I observed in the borders of some fields about Leghorn a sort of trefoil, with a little spike of bright purple or red flowers, which afterwards turned to spumose vesicles, like to the head of the strawberry trefoil. Whether this be the Trifolium fotticulateum sive Vesica- rium minus purpurenm, J. B. ? [T. Resupinatum, Linn. ] 7. Whether the Seseli pratense Monspeliensium be a species distinct from our English Meadow Saxifrage ? To me it seemed the same. [Both are, Silaus pratensis, Bess. ] 8. T...here is a sort of Jacea purpurea capitulo spinoso growing on the sands a little beyond Naples, of which I desire either the seed, or a plant dried, or so exact and particular a description, as that I may know whether it be already described or not. I saw at the house of John Maria Ferro, an apothecary in Venice, living near Santa Maria Formosa, many rare dried plants, but especially a great number of- figures of plants, drawn exactly by a curious hand, in black. If the said Signer Ferro be yet living, please to visit him, and inquire of him whether he designs to engrave and publish any of those icons, or be willing to part with them for their worth to one that will.
