This might be a bit more compact: r1<-c(0.59,0.9,0.6) plot(1:6) legend("topleft", leg=as.expression(lapply(1:3, function(n) bquote( G*.(n)~r^2==.(r1[n]))))) I didn't see an indication that there were supposed to be subscripted numerals after the "G"'s Initialy I tried just: lapply(1:3, function(n) bquote( G*.(n)~r^2==.(r1[n]))) But this didn't have the proper mode, which was solved by wrapping in as.espression thus returning the correctly constructed expression vector: expression(G * 1L ~ r^2 == 0.59, G * 2L ~ r^2 == 0.9, G * 3L ~ r^2 == 0.6) This could also be delivered slightly less economically with this editing of your effort: as.expression(c( bquote(G[1]~~ r^2 == .(r1[1])), bquote(G[2]~~ r^2 == .(r1[2])), bquote(G[3]~~ r^2 == .(r1[3])) ) ) I'm not sure but I think that expressions can be vectors but I don't think that there are "call vectors", only call lists. > Don't ask me to explain how this works.
