spreading, sqnarrose in the large capitulum (2-2-3 xO"8-l mm.). 

 Stem leaves very variable in shape, sometimes nearly as broad as long, 

 but with longer and less spathulate ones intermixed (1*3-1 "4 x 0*6- 

 1"3). Howie Green Wood, Herefordshire, May 1918, Miss E. Armi- 

 tage. Very different in habit from the other two forms, but agreeing 

 better with it than with var. validiiis Card, in details. Some of the 

 stem leaves recall those of S. teres, but the chlor. cells are emergent 

 on the inner side of the leaf. In some respects, also, it connects 

 S.Jimhriatum Yerj closely with >S^. Girgensohnii. I have not seen 

 the Cornish specimens of this variety collected by Curnow.
