44 1. R. ID^US. 



is probably tbe p. microphyllus of Wallrotb {Sched. 226), 

 which has " foliis constanter ternatis, duplo minoribus ; 

 caule 1- 2-pedali, recto, a basi inde ramoso." A tiifoliate 

 specimen, gathered at Shrawley in Worcestershire in the 

 year 1836, and supposed by Mr Lees to be "probably var. 

 trifoliatus of Bell Salter and Babington," is not that plant. 

 Its leaflets, although only in threes, closely resemble those 

 of the typical R. Idceus both in size and shape. Such is also 

 the case with his var. asperrimus mentioned above.

Localities. — It is so generally distributed that no special 

 localities are requisite. I have not seen specimens from 

 (xvii.) the North Highlands, nor (xviii.) the North Isles, but 

 Mr Watson states that it was found by the late Dr Neil in 

 Orkney. It is recorded in the Cyhele Hibernica as occurring 

 in Provmces 23, 25, 26, 27 and 29.
