H. Simmonsianum doubtless belongs to the Rigida, and among 

 these it comes nearest to the group ol forms, which connects the 

 sparsifolium -like forms with Vulgata, viz. H. lapponicum Fr. and 

 forms allied to it. It is unquestionably closely related to H. epileu- 

 coides as well as to H. færoense, but is distinguished from them by 

 its broader radical leaves, and lower stem-leaves (therefore remind- 

 ing one somewhat of forms developed like the subrigidum-ixpe of 

 Vulgata), by having fewer simple hairs and stellate hairs, and by 

 the distinct though sparsely occumng glands on its phyllaries. 

 The middle and inner phyllaries are often very broad, almost ovate 

 at the base, and from somewhere about the middle they rapidly 

 contract into a long, linear-lanceolate, obtuse or tapering pari. The 

 stellate hairs are often wanting on most of the phyllaries, some- 

 times they occur only at the tops of either all or some of the outer 

 ones. The tufts of hairs at the tops of the phyllaries are rather 

 indistinct and are often wanting on almost all the inner ones.
