 The distribution of this plant does not support the assertion that it is 

 partial to a calcareous soil. A growing plant of L. Forsteri can be dis- 

 tinguished from one of L. pilosa at a glance, especially in fruit, as all the 

 capsules on a panicle of the former droop in one direction, whereas those 

 of the latter spread in all directions. The figure of Forsteri in English 

 Botany does not show this feature, and is altogether bad. A more or less 

 abortive form, similar in character to the var. Borreri of L. pilosa, I 

 have seen at Mothecombe. 

 First record : Jacob, 1836.
