In Scotland (Watsonian counties) : 72, 73, 74, 87, Perth 

 Herb.! 88, 89, Perth Herb. ! 90 and 91, Edinburgh Herb. ! 96, 

 97, 98, 99, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, Salmon Herb. ! 106, 108, 

 110, 112. In all, twenty-one Scottish counties. 



England : 6, 62 (teste Martindale), 69. From all these 

 counties I have specimens, except where otherwise indi- 

 cated. With regard to altitude, it occurs in 97 (Macvicar 

 sp.) at 1000 feet ; and in 88 (Ewing sp.) on Ben Lawers 

 at 3200 feet. Dr. Nordstedt tells me it occurs in Blekinge 

 at 15 met., and in Smoland at 250 met. In Norway at low 

 levels — Nyman 1 refers the U. ochroleuca, F. Schultz, Herb. 

 Norm., to intermedia, Hayne. The U. intermedia, F. 

 Schultz, Herb. Norm., from the Vosages he puts to 

 ochroleuca. 



With regard to Neuman's calling it a hybrid, Dr. 

 Nordstedt tells me that Neuman found only two fruits, 

 and among sixty specimens he could not find any well- 

 developed pollen. Dr. Nordstedt asks the very pertinent 

 question, " Have you examined British specimens in this 

 direction ? " I have not, neither do I know of anyone 

 else doing so. There are certainly differences among the 

 many specimens I have seen that probably constitute a 

 variety. 



U. intermedia, Hayne. 



On present knowledge this species is very rare in Scot- 

 land. I have seen a specimen in the Perth Herbarium 

 from E. Perth gathered by the late Abram Sturrock. 

 Another in the Edinburgh Herbarium (under the name 

 of U. minor) from " Kincardine 1848," no collector's name. 



In E. Anglia, in Norfolk especially, it is abundant, 

 many stations being known, and in several it " covers 

 many square yards " ; 2 in one at Honing, it is one of the 

 half-dozen dominant species, and in four other places 

 " it is extremely abundant." 



The figure in " Eng. Botany, Supp.," t. 2489, is accepted 

 by Hartman as representing the true intermedia, and the 

 drawing (if correct) is certainly so. 



In Sweden intermedia has a continuous distribution
