Not, I believe, hitherto recorded from any part of Asia, but an immature 
specimen collected by J. M. Delavay in 1887 in Yunnan, China, almost 
certainly belongs to this species. 
T. prolifera occurs in a few scattered localities in Europe and North 
America. .

T. hispanica occurs in several localities on the Northern and Southern 
shores of the Mediterranean and in Persia.

Mr. Arthur Bennett kindly gave us a small portion of a plant collected by 
Potanin in Western Kansu, China, which probably belongs to this species, 
but the specimen is hardly sufficient for identification. Tt is recorded from 
Ispahan, Persia, 1868, by C. Haussknecht, but the specimens of Haussknecht’s 
from that place which I have examined belong to T. hispanica. Braun 
(* Fragmente,” p. 96) refers to a doubtful plant from “ aquis pigris deserte 
Cumani " as being either 7. nidifica or a variety of the present species. 
T. glomerata is widely distributed in Europe. It occurs also in N. and 8. 
Africa, N. America, and Tasmania.

We had little doubt as to the identity of the Fort Stedman plant, but, in 
the absence of gametangia, and in view of the great distance from any 
known locality for the species, hesitated to record it. Mr. Allen’s recent 
discovery of it in Kashmir removes the element of doubt as to the Burmese 
plant. 
With the exception of these localities N. obtusa is not known to occur 
outside Kurope, where it is an uncommon plant, though widely distributed,
