A form from the neighbourhood of Hungerford, gathered by me in 

 1 89 1, is considered by the Rev. W. M. Rogers to be between R. radula 

 and R. fiiscus, and therefore near to var. sertiflorus (P. J. M\iell. as 

 a species). A plant from Boar's Hill. &c., is considered by the 

 Rev. W. M. Rogers not quite to agree with typical radula, nor can it 

 be placed under echinatoides. 



Aggregate R. radula occurs in all the bordering counties.
