Robinson & Fernald, 
(1796), the earlier description of the species in Wither- 
ing’s Bot. Arr. Veg. ii. 784 (1776), having been over- 
looked owing to the circumstance that there are by a 
typographical error two pages numbered 784 in the 
work in question. The description of E. septangulare 
in 1776 makes it clearly antedate Nasmythia articulata 
Huds. Fl. Ang. ed. 2, 415 (1778). Even if E. septangu- 
lare had not proved the earlier name, it is doubtful if 
E. articulata (Huds.) Morong could be adopted for our 
plant, since of Hudson's treatment only the citation of 
locality (Isle of Skye) relates to E. septangulare and all 
descriptive and synonymic matter is taken directly from 
Linnaeus’s description of his E. decangulare.]

and the globose-obovoid distinctly exserted capsule usually 
darker than in no. 3; filaments nearly equaling the anthers.
