 The Tway-blade occurs frequently in all the districts, ascending to 

 nearly 800 feet on the White Horse range, so that there is no need 

 to specify localities. In Bagley Wood I found a specimen with the 

 flowers inverted. Specimens with three leaves, one placed above 

 the lower pair, are not rare. I have seen such at Wytham, Appleton, 

 Riever Wood, Ashridge Wood, and in Windsor Park. A form with 

 narrower and more acute leaves occurred at Cothill Bog, &c. 

 L. ovata is found in all the bordering counties.
