Reykjavik, in a pool of fresh water at about a mile to the west of the 

 town, B. Vatusdalr, B. G. Seythisfjord, Sy. Esia, Mk, 



I have not seen Baring- Gould's plant. Mine is very much 

 like B. confervoides (Fr.) ; but that plant has smaller flow^ers and 

 smoother and blunter carpels, which want the persistent base of 

 the style that is found on my plant. Prof. Lange refers the 

 specimens gathered by Merck and Krabbe to the JR. Drouetii 

 (Schultz), w^hich differs from my plant by its greener leaves, 

 capsules inflated at the end, and much shorter uniformly thick 

 peduncles. My plant may be characterized as follows : — 



R. foliis omnibus submersis petiolatis repetite trichotomis, petalis ob- 

 ovato-oblongis 5-7-venosis ealyce longioribus, staminibus ovariorum 

 capitula excedentibus, carpellis ^-obovatis apice obtuso compresso 

 sublateraliter apleulato. Folia eburneo-viridia. Stipula louge ad- 

 nata vix auriculata. Alabaster oblongus. 



3. R. HEDERACEUS, Linn. — K. 

 Vithimyri, B. G. 



4. R. GLACiALTSj Linn. — K. 



Mountains above Akreyri, C.\ Mountain between Stadarhraun and 

 Holbeinstadr, Sir J. Mackenzie^ H. Zrekyllis Heidi and Reykjar- 

 fjord, G. Near Holoiar by Reydarfjord, and at Lousheidi near 

 Stafafell, T. <5' G. Blaakulla and Thorgelshorne, M, Thorisengis- 

 mule, S. Hnausir in Hunavatn Syssel, K. 



Robert found it near the top of Sfcafsheithi, near Holmar, in 

 beautiful flower on the 25th of July, when the temperature of 

 the air was below, but of the soil rather above, the freezing-point. 



5. R. REPTANS, Linn, — jST. 



Lagarfljot, G. In the tun at Thingvellir, B. G. I Reykjavik and 

 Seythisfjord, Sy. Reykholt, St, 



Baring-Grould records M. Flammula\ but liis specimens an J 

 written information showed that he really gathered R. reptans. 

 The authority which he followed considered them to be forms of 

 one species. Apparently that idea has arisen from small states 

 of M. Flammula being mistaken for the B. reptans. The plants 

 seem to be abundantly distinct. Good figures of B. reptans
