i2 4 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



these flowers and gradually decreasing, narrowing leaves it should 

 be atroviridis. Not latifolia \ " My own herbarium-specimen (No. 

 1930) of August 3, 1907, from the same locality, fully bears out 

 this opinion ; it is, in fact, quite like the Little Boward, Hereford- 

 shire, E. ovalis, Bab., which Rev. A. Ley and I recently found to 

 be identical with authentic atroviridis (ovalis is for the most part a 

 synonym of atrorubens]. It follows that the hybrid found in 1900, 

 and published as E. atrorubens x latifolia, is so only in an aggregate 

 sense, and should be called Helleborine atrorubens x atroviridis, n.
