I have not seen any specimens from Ireland. 



Found on the Continent and in North America. 



Obs. — Distinguished from Cesia ohtiisa, Lindb. and the rare 

 Cesia corallioides (Nees), in addition to other characters by the 

 acute segments of the leaves. It is frequently mistaken for 

 Anthelia julacea (Lightf ) by inexperienced collectors, from which 

 it is very different. 



The innermost bracts differ considerably in various indi- 

 viduals ; some stems having two, some three, and others only one, 

 and are more or less laciniate-dentate, but are always free from 

 each other and the outer bracts.
