They may be, perhaps, the var. pallidum A. Blytt (G. pallidum 

 C. A. Meyer), but I think they are merely an albino condition. 

 A monstrosity with foliaceous sepals, and often proliferous flowers, 

 is G. hybridum Wulf. ; it is not uncommon. 

 Epilobium montanum L. 



Var. verticillatum Koch. Leaves in threes. Very rare. 

 Epilobium obscurum Schreb. 



To this I refer a specimen with the leaves in threes ; as, though 

 it agrees somewhat with the description of E. trigonum Schrk.. I 

 have little doubt but that it is E. obscurum. 

 Antennaria dioica Gsert. I find two forms : — 



a. vulgaris. Anthodes in a dense head, subsessile or shortly 

 stalked. 



b. pedicellata. Anthodes in a loose corymb, with stalks from 



}i inch to more than 1 inch in length. This is probably 

 merely an extreme state, but it is striking. 

 Carduus arvensis Curt. 



a. horridus Koch. Leaves all undulate, pinnatifid, strongly 



spiny. Local, but not uncommon. All the specimens I 

 have seen have the leaves glabrous beneath. 



b. mitt's Koch. Leaves of the stem sinuate ; of the branches 



entire or dentate, more softly spiny. This I take to be our 

 commonest form. 



c. vestitus Koch. Underside of leaves with white down. What 

 may possibly be this I found at an altitude of 2,300 ft., but there 

 were only radical leaves. It may be a common form. 

 Sonchus oleraceus L. 



d. integrifolius Wallr. Leaves not runcinate. 



b. triangularis Wallr. Leaves runcinate-pinnatifid, terminal 



lobe larger, triangular. 



c. lac&ruSf Wallr. Leaves pinnatifid, lobes; including the terminal 



one, dentate or sinuate, hence all sub-equal. 



I have seen b. and c, but not a. 

 Sonchus arvensis L. 



Var. Iwvipes, Koch. Peduncles and involucres without glandu- 

 lar pubescence. Rare, but perhaps overlooked. Is this var. 

 glabra Lond. Cat. ? 

 Campanula rotundifolia L. 



Var. hirta Koch. Lower plant, with rigid hairs. Note. — The 

 stem is usually more or less hairy near the base, but in the speci-
