 0. pyrenaicum is almost confined to a small area in the Pang district. 

 The leaves have quite withered by the time the plant is in flower, 

 which would appear to make it belong to 0. sidfurewn, Roem. et Schult. 



0. pijrenaicum is only recorded as a native plant from Wilts of the 

 counties bordering on Berkshire.
