V. VI. 



733. 0. incarnata, L. 



Native ; in boggy pastures, local. Like many other 

 botanists, we were for a long time unable to feel sure of 

 this species ; but we have been led to the conclusion 

 that, at the stations mentioned below, the plants are 

 incarnata and not latifolia. They agree entirely with 

 the former as regards leaf-characters, which seem to be 

 the only tangible ones whereby the two species can be 

 separated. Babington's remark on the time of flowering 

 is also confirmatory of these plants being 0. incarnata.
