C. planifi.6ra. Lam., on p. 14, a species long ago in cultivation, was wrongly guessed to be 

 American. It is very near C pi/ramidalts, L., of S. E. Europe, perhaps a variety of it. 

 C. rotundifolia, L. To this polymorplions species refer all the forms assembled under 

 " C. Scheuchzeri" (not Vill.), excepting what belongs to C. Parrtji, and (to avoid the ques- 

 tion as to what is truly C. linifolia. Lam., and C. Scheuchzeri, Vill.) adopt the nomenclature 

 of Langc, viz. : — 



Var, arctica, Lange, Fl. Dan. xvi. 8, t. 7211 (C. linifolia, var. Lamf.sdorffiaiia, A. DC, 

 and probably liis (J. dxihia and C pralensis, also C. rotundifolia, var. linifolia, Vxvuy, Man. ed. 2, 

 244, not Walil. Fl. Lapp.), for the more rigid and one-few-flowered form, with corolla 

 usually inch long, and very slender calyx-lobes soon spreading or deflexed. — Common from 

 Canada and Lalirador to the arctic regions. 



Var. Alaskana. Leafy to the top: radical leaves cordate; lowest cauline ovate, the 

 succeeding ovate-lanceolate to lanceolate, nearly all petiolate : calyx-lobes attenuate, soon 

 deflexed : corolla an inch to nearly an inch and a half long. — C. heterodoxa. Bong. Veg. Sitk.
