One record only, for which we are indebted to Mr. A. Bennett, 

 who sends the following interesting notes. " Near Cardiff. Sept., 

 1902. Vachell spec." " The occurrence of this species may seem 

 odd, yet it is not so, for it occurs in 15 of the Dutch Friesian islands, 

 in three of the German Friesian Islands, in several of the Danish 

 islands, in France also (as /. anceps), Belgium, N. Germany, etc. 

 It probably occurs in the Lake Counties of N. England ; (spec, in 

 Norwich Mus. ?) — often very difficult to separate from /. lampro- 

 carpus." " I include under /. alpinus, J. fusco-ater, Schreber, which 

 the Cardiff plant really more nearly resembles." " The other 

 recorded British localities for this plant all lie N. of the Clyde."

The records for this species are all doubtful, and therefore that 

 for the hybrid between this and the next. The species is recorded 

 as not uncommon by J.S. and in L.W. D.Mat. No recent records 

 exist, although many localities have been searched by several 

 observers. Narrow-leaved individuals of vernalis have probably 

 been mistaken for the real plant. The record in T.B. is not attested 

 by a specimen, and is probably based on the doubtful record in 

 L.W.D. Mat.
