this cliciracter ; tterrii Jack and Stepliani have also written 

 on it. 



This species is a very distinct one, and the only British repre- 

 sentative of the genus. 



Hooker says, "Weiss, who first adopted the name, describes 

 the species with considerable accuracy," with which opinion I 

 ag^ree. Nees and Jack seem to think that he had a form of 

 Marsupella emart/lnata before him, although Nees has seen speci- 

 mens of the true plant from Weiss's herbarium. 



Scopoli's Jiiiujeniiania purpurea of 1772 may be the same as 

 our species, but it is very uncertain. It may, however, be said 

 that the description oK J mifjermaiiia purpurea in Lightfoot's "Flora 

 Scotica " (1777) is very inaccurate and vague if applied to this 

 species.
