Remarks. This species is very fully described by Weiss. 

 The little branches, with verticillate leaves, each of which 

 terminates in a sharp apex and is also tapered from its centre 

 to its point of attachment with the stem, and which have 

 been described as Annularia radiata, are now known to be 

 the foliage of this plant. The fruit is also described by Weiss. 

 This and the following species are the two most plentiful in 

 the Scotch Coal-measures. 



Localities. Blaes between Kiltongue and Drumgray Coals, 

 Whiterigg, near Airdrie ; Pits, Airdrie ; Shettleston, near 

 Glasgow; Bent Colliery, about H mile E. of Both well.

Remarks. A very fine specimen of this species has been 

 collected. It shows the remains of four branches, the longest 

 of which, however, is incomplete, but measures 8 inches and 

 bears seventeen whorls of leaves. From the position in which 

 the bianches lie to each other they have evidently been
