854. intermedium, Lange. = nemorosum, Lej. of continental authors 



and Lond. Cat. Ed. 10. 

 This is a very variable plant, and according to Mr. Beeby, /. of 

 B. 1908. p. 382, is an aggregate consisting of majus x minus 

 hybrids and a variety of minus. This accounts very satisfactorily 

 for its variability and for its occurrence in Glamorgan, in the 

 immediate neighbourhood of the two parents. Leckwith ! ! Llan-

Quite common near the coast and for some distance inland. 

 Furthest points inland are : — Llandaff. J.S. Cefn On. Ridd. Cwrt-

857. crispus, Linn. Welted Thistle. Ysgallen grych.

Most of the records must be treated as for the aggregate since 

 our correspondents do not clearly distinguish whether they refer to 

 acanthoides {Linn.) as a synonym for the species, following Bentham, 

 or as the name of a segregate, following the Lond. Cat. and Bab. Man. 

 All my own records are for the type. I have not yet detected the 

 variety c. acanthoides (Linn.).
