A full account of the British species of this genus has been 

 published by W. B. Grove in the Kew Bulletin, 1917, no. 2, 

 pp. 49-73 (2 pis.). He lists 76 British species with descriptions. 

 As a volume on Sphaeropsideae is promised for an early date it 

 is unnecessary to deal with the species here. The following 

 however are recent discoveries :
