324 PEOr. C. C. BABlIfGTON ON THE FLORA OF ICELAND. 



Fries considers it a real native of Lapland and Finland. Can it 

 have resulted from an attempt at cultivation ?]

 grown on very rich soil.

 Copenhagen.

This is a common plant, according to Gliemann. He also re- 

 cords JJ. domesticus^ or I should have suspected that he, and all 

 the older Icelandic botanists, really intended the JS. domesticus by 

 R. acutus, and that H. conglorneratus is not to be found in Iceland. 

 If really common, it is remarkable that no recent visitors have 

 noticed it. I have no recollection of seeing any plant at all like 

 J?, conglomeratus.']

Reykjavik, B. Budnestad, Mk. ReykhoUar, St. Found especially at 

 Borgarfjord, according to Olafsen and Povclsen, who call it Patientta 

 or Lapathum. 



I am unable to determine to which of the species into which 

 the J2. aquaticus (Linn.) is now divided, my specimen ought to be 

 referred ; but it seems to be J2. domesticus. The specimens ga- 

 thered by Morck and by Steenstrup, now at Copenhagen, are so 



named. Becquerel addsiJ. crispuSy but probably means the same 

 plant. Preyer and Zirkel record B. crisjpus and R, Patientia ; but 

 probably both names refer to the same plant. There is a probable 

 specimen of -B. domesticus in Solander's collection, but it has no 

 leaves. Gliemann states, on the authoi'ity of Morck, that B- do- 

 mrsticus is the plant of Iceland ; and Vahl admits it as a native 

 species.
