The pores very small and grey even in the younger specimens, always leaving a whitish margin on the under side, which will readily distinguish it. TAB. CCXXXII.

Arden favoured me with specimens of this plant from Nork Park, in 1797. It has scarcely any perceptible stipes, and swells a little upwards terminating more or less acutely. Nearly three parts of the whole length seem to constitute the head, being of a different texture from the rest, and probably holding the seed. This figure of Bolton is surely erroneously quoted by Dr. Withering and other writers for Q. phacorhiza. TAB. CCXXXIII.

found in a garden at Walthamstow. I have gathered it since in Kensington-gardens. The plant is a slender simple undulating thread, terminating rather bluntly at the apex. The substance at the base somewhat resembles a bean or seed splitting to protrude a young plant. Sometimes the head is straighter, and resembles a bodkin or netting-needle.
