Note 6 — JOURNEY TO LAPLAND.

Linnæus records this misfortune in his Flora Lapponica, at n. 42, see ed. 2. p. 27, where, in speaking of Arundo Calamagrostis, he says he "presumes the synonyms are rightly applied, though he had no opportunity of comparing his plant with books and descriptions, having lost the specimen, with various other natural productions, by being cast away as he was descending one of the great rivers of Lapland." The synonym of Morison at least, which he has thus by memory applied, proves to be erroneous.
