/\}nu('/ia pro/ixa occurs in France 'sur les rochers siliceux des régions 

 montagneuses', in Great Britain 'in maritime and upland districts', in Ger- 

 many 'im ganzen Gebiet bis in die Alpen, im Gebirge häufiger'. 



In Norway it is very abundant on the south and west coast, and com- 

 mon though less abundant at the tjords. It has been recorded from seve- 

 ral stations on the coast in Nordland. North of Lofoten it has been recor- 

 ded, buth rather scarce and nowhere plentiful, on the coast and also at the 

 tjords as far north as Alten. It is a lowland plant, in Hardanger it does 

 not surpass 300 m. s. m. 



The \'ar. prrniga/a (Nyl. ) is not rare; in my opinion a little note- 

 worthy form. 



Paniie/ia pro/i.xa has been confused with P. stygia, and se\'eral plants 

 from inland stations in our herbarium, named P. prolixa, were P. stygia. 

 There are as yet only very few specimens known of P. prolixa from inland 

 stations in Norwa}-. — Apart of morphological characters, P. stygia differs 

 in the reaction of the medulla with KOH (KOH lutescens, dein aurantiaca 

 vel rubescens); it must, however, be confessed that this reaction is occa- 

 sionally faint. 



I have always found the KOH + Ca Cl._, O., reaction oî P. pro/i.xa nega- 

 tive, I agree with Harmand (Lieh. France p. 536) that the contrary state- 

 ment b}' Rosendahl (Untersuchungen p. 431) is incorrect.
