106 TWO HYBRID EPILOBIA NEW TO BRITAIN. 



deliberately, either as being doubtfully British, or because their 

 present position and relation to allied forms seem too uncertain. 



Owing to the unexpected delay in the publication of TAmd. Cat., 

 ed. 9, I have had an opportunity of revising the Kubi list which it 

 contains some months after the greater part of this paper was 

 written. The list having thus been brought more nearly up to date 

 than it was possible for me to make these notes before the end of 

 last year, I here insert such additions and corrections to the comital 

 numbers given above as are necessary to make them correspond 

 with the list in tbe Catalogue: — 



B. plicatus W. & N. Add vice- R. vilUcaidis (sp, collect.). Add 



county 103. 07, and make the total No. for 



R. Roijersil Linton. Add 88 and var. Selmcri 47. 



106. '^n. villicajil is Koehh Add 8. 



R. intct/ribasis P.J. MnelL? Add Var. c. insularis (F. Aresch.).

R. rhavmifoliiisy^.&l^. Erase 97. R. (jratus Focke. Add 56. 



R. Jicmoralisyni'. Silurum A.hej. R. a rgeMatus \SiV. rohusUis. Alter 



Erase 6. "9 v.-c. (4-17," &c.) to 4 v.-c.

R. mercicus var. bracteatus Bag- R. rusticamis Merc. Add 56.

At p. 48, instead of "ii. erythrinus Genev. No. in Set, 56'," 

 read "ft. orytlirinus Genev. No. in Set, C." 



TWO HYBRID EPILOBIA NEW TO BRITAIN. 

 By the Rev. E. S. Marshall, M.A., F.L.S. 



1. E. ALSiNEFOLiuM X OBscuRUM. Amoiig a number of willow- 

 herbs recently sent to me for examination by Mr. R. Kidston, of 

 Stirling, there was one collected beside the Burn of Sorrow, Clack- 

 mannanshire, which is evidently an offspring of these two species, 

 and fairly intermediate between them. It is a combination which 

 I have long expected to occur with us, and have carefully searched 

 for, without success, as I never came across E. alsinefolium and E. 

 obscunun growing together. Wherever this happens, the hybrid 

 will probably be met with. Mr. Kidston also sent specimens of 

 E. anagallidlJ'oUum x obscurnm from Stirlingshire; it had previously 

 been found only in my W. Sutherland Station, near the foot of 

 Ben More of Assynt, and has not yet been obtained on the Continent. 



E. ahincj'olmm x obscurum was first published [fide Haussknecht, 

 Monographie, p. 169) by Lamotte in 1877, as having been found on 

 the borders of rivulets in the valley of Chaudefour, M. Dore, 

 department of Puy-de-D6me. Prof. Haussknecht has also seen 

 specimens from Superbagnieres de Luchon and other Pyrenean 

 localities, from Pico de Canellas, and from the Sierra Nevada, 

 where Boissier collected it so long ago as 1837. Those who are
