Hab. — On moist rocks in alpine situations. Very rare. 15. 

 Below the summit of Ben Lawers, W. West, August 1880. Ben 

 Laoigh, Peter Eioing, September 1882. Glen Callater, Prof. 

 Balfour, 1841. 



Found on the Continent. 



Obs. — Distinguished from A. julacea (L.) by its smaller size, 

 paroicous inflorescence, the antheridia being found at the base 

 of the bracts immediately below the perianth, the somewhat 

 secund leaves, which are much laxer in texture, and the perianth 

 being less cylindrical, with the folds not so deep at the lower 

 portion. 



I detected this species first as British from specimens collected 

 by Mr. West on Ben Lawers in 1880, who had named it Anthelia 

 julacea. In Dr. Carrington's herbarium, specimens collected in 

 (Hen Callater by Prof Balfour in 1841 and named Anthelia julacea 

 var. clavuligera Nees, belong to this species. 



Prof. Lindberg refers the Juvg. 7iivalis of Swartz (./. nivalis 

 Sw., W. M. Ind. muse, p. 5. (1803); Whalenb. Fl. Suec, pro 

 parte) to this species, but on this matter Dr. Spruce writes : 

 " However that may be, there is no evidence to show that either 

 Swartz or Wahlenberg discriminated between the two forms, and 

 did not equally include the /. julacea of Lightfoot, as well as 

 ./. Juratzkana, under their name, /. nivalis ; so that to Limpricht 

 belongs the honour of first distinguishing /. Juratzkana by its 

 inflorescence."
