124. _Lists of Plants with their Provincial Names._--In a biography that
appeared of Dr. P. Brown in the _Anthologia Hibernica_ for Jan. 7, 1793,
we are informed that he prepared for the press a "Fasciculus Plantarum
Hibernicarum," enumerating chiefly those growing in the counties of Mayo
and Galway, written in Latin, with the English and Irish names of each
plant. See also _Dublin Quarterly Journal of Medical Science_, i.--xxx.
Where is this MS.?
Can any of your readers refer me to similar lists of plants indigenous
to either England or Ireland, in which the provincial names are
preserved, with any notes on their use in medicine, or their connexion
with the superstitions of the district to which the list refers? Any
information on this subject, however slight, will particularly oblige
