CE. fluviatilis is too distinct from its closest ally (CE. aquatica to be 
regarded as the kind of plant which would be endemic to the British 
Islands. 
Arctium nemorosum Lejeune.” The plant so named by many 
botanists was seen in many places on the excursion, asin Derbyshire, 
Lancashire, and Perthshire; but the name, as given above, has no 
claims to acceptance. It is merely a name—‘ Arctium nemorosum 
Lej. in litt.’—which appears in synonymy under Lappa intermedia 
Reichenbach Icon. xv, 54 (1853). Lange in Dansk. Fl. 357 (1886.88) 
cites * A. nemorosum Lej. Fl. Spa (1813).” However, I could find no 
such name in the copy of Fl. Spa. which I consulted ; and Lange’s 
omission of the page is suggestive. 
Torre and Sarntheim (Fl. Tirol 595 (1912) ) refer the plant to 
Lappa macrosperma Wallroth in Linnea xiv, 639 (1840) ; but is this 
not A. majus. Schkuhr Handb. iii, 49 (1808)? If this is so, the 
plant would appear to be better named Arctium intermedium 
Babington loc. cit. The Raian synonym, doubtfully cited by 
Wallroth, is referred to A. majus by Babington in Ann. and Mag. 
Nat. Hist. ser. 2, 372 (1856). 
The plant is intermediate between A. majus and A. minus ; but 
it is not a hybrid, as its distribution in Great Britain (recently 
worked out by Mr. A. H. Evans, who will shortly publish his views 
on the British forms of Arctium) clearly shows.

As surmised by Professor Lindman, there are two forms of 
the cranberry in England, a small-fruited form and a larger-fruited 
one. I find that the former occurs on the peat-moors of the 
hills of the west and north of Great Britain, and I have recently 
collected it in Cheshire and Sutherlandshire. In addition to the 
size of the fruits, the large-fruited form is rarer and more local in 
the north; and it may be a lowland and southern form: I have 
gathered it in lowland moors in Somerset and Cheshire. The 
small-fruited form has glabrous pedicels, those of the large-fruited 
form being slightly hairy. In the small-fruited form, the flowers 
are 4-partite or commonly so, those of the large-fruited form being 
not infrequently 5-partite. The small-fruited form has rather 
smaller and more triangular leaves, and rather shorter petals. 
These are all minor differences, but the ensemble of characters is 
sufficient to eonstitute a variety.
