18 TRANSACTIONS OF THE [Sess. EXXmt. 
his “Flora Fennica” (1895), 521, does not notice the J. 
tenwissima, Al. Braun, which certainly occurs in Finland, 
nor does Nyman in his “Consp. Fl. Europ.” (1882), 685. 
This was named NV. minor, All., var. tenwissima by Braun 
in “Jour. of Botany ” (1864), 277, but Magnus, in “ Beit. Kent. 
Gat. Najas” (1870) 24, 45, made it a species, and Dr. 
Rendle in “Trans. Linn. Soc.” (Botany), v. (1899), 414, 
does the same. I have one of the original specimens 
gathered by Norrlin! in the Vesijari-see, but he placed it 
under NV. fragilis, Del.= N. minor, All. Norrlin? gives asa 
locality for flexilis “Savenshji ad Velikaji-guba.” This is 
in 62° 15’ N. lat., at the northern end of Lake Onega. 
NV. jlexilis has occurred in recent beds in a fossil state 
in Hanover, Holstein, S.W. Norway, Sweden, and E. 
Finland (Rendle, l.c.) 
In England in pre-Glacial beds at Pakefield in Suffolk, 
N. marina, L., and N. minor, All, have occurred, but Mr. 
C. Reid * does not mention the occurrence of NV. flexilis. 
ATRIPLEX CALOTHECA, FRIES, AS A SCOTTISH SPECIES. 
By ARTHUR BENNETT, F.LS. 
For some years I have been expecting to see specimens 
of the above species from some of the northern counties of 
Great Britain. But the want of complete specimens with 
good fruit has compelled me to hesitate in applying the 
name to many specimens. Fries adapted the name from 
the A. hastata, L., y calotheca, Rafn., “Damn. FI,” 1. 240, 
1796, and published specimens of it in his “ Herb. Norm.,” 
viii., No. 84 (1841): describing it in his “ Novy. Fl. Suec.,” 
Mant. 3, 164 (1842) :— 
“A. calotheca, herbacea, patulo-ramosa, subprostrata 
foliis triangulari-sagittatis sinuato-dentatis, supremis in- 
terrigimis, floribus terminalibus spicatis, calycibus femineis 
triangularibus, in dentes acuminatos subulatosve laciniatis.” 
(Fries, l.c.) 
It has been divided by various authors in various ways,
