This plant is remarkable among the forms of the subspecies Borei for its 
large, broad bracts and distinctly rugulose fruits.

Hybrids between this subspecies and. A. officinalis, quite barren and inter- 
mediate in eharaeters, have been observed in Guernsey and in the south of 
England. 
The subspecies Borei is a rare plant except in the British Islands and the 
north and west of France, but there are specimens from Hesse, Germany, 
and from Sweden in Herb. C. Bailey, and one from Norway in Herb. Kew. 
Coutinho records it for Portugal, and it occurs in "pain, where it is reported 
by Haussknecht to grow commonly about Gibraltar and elsewhere in 
Southern Andalusia. As Major Wolley-Dod, however, recently failed to 
find it in that district, and met with F. sepium in abundance, it is probable 
that these two plants have been confused.
