First discovered in England, near Over, in Cheshire, by 

 Mr. Wilson, and subseqnently at Mildenhall, in Suffolk, where 

 it was bearing fruit abundantly. It has also been found 

 by the banks of the Findhorn, by Dr. Innes of Forres. 

 Fr. Spring. This species is well denominated "allied," as 

 it is no easy matter to distinguish it from some of the forms 

 of B. rostratmn, ciispidatum, and marginaUbm.

On clayey ground by river-sides. First discovered by the 

 river Dart, in Devonshire, by the Rev. I. S. Tozer ; a sta-

 ' Phytologist ' for 1843. Fr. Spring. The red-coloured cells 

 wliich thicken the margin of the leaves of this rare little 

 ]\Ios3, are the only marks of afnuity with the Mnlum section 

 of the genus, for in every other respect it is closely allied toB. 

 carneum, wliich affects similar soil for its place of growth.
