Obs. — This may be the Jung, excisa of Dickson (PI. crypt. 

 Brit. fasc. 3, 1793), as Lindberg asserts, but his description and 

 figures are vague and incorrect, so I prefer to adopt the very 

 characteristic name of Hooker. 



Distinguished from Juu//. veniric.osa, Dicks., by its paroicous 

 inliorescence.
