 3-veined, cal. half inferior, sep. ovate acute. E. B. 2291 (good). 

 L. on the barren shoots as well as the radical 1. 3-cleft, the 

 lateral lobes often divided half way down, lobes diverging. St. 

 3 6 or 8 in. long, weak, ascending, hairy, glandular, bearing 2 

 or 3 deeply 3-lobed leaves and a few simple linear bracts. Late- 

 ral peduncles ultimately much overtopping the intermediate one. 

 Anth. large, round, with a deep parallel-sided notch. Horns of 

 caps, slightly spreading. On the summit of Brandon Mountain, 

 and Hag's Glen, Kerry ; and Galty More, Tipperary. West of 

 Scotland. Mr. G. Don. P. VII. ' S. I. 



11. S. qffinis (Don) ; 1. of the trailing shoots 3 5-lobed with 

 a very broad base fringed, lobes linear acute, fl. few (2 \},pet. 

 oblong 3-veined inflexed at the sides, cal. half inferior deeply 

 divided into subulate acute sepals. E. B. S. 2903. The 5-cleft 

 1. few ; lobes of the others nearly parallel or slightly spreading. 

 St. I 3 in. high, erect, with a few linear simple leaves, glan-

 Horns of caps, spreading. I have examined this plant and S. 

 hirta upon Brandon Mountain and consider them as distinct 

 from S. hypnoides. Summit of Brandon Mountain, Kerry. P^

12. S. hypnoides (L.) ; root-1. 3 6-cleft, those of the trailing 

 shoots undivided or 3-cleft, lobes all acute bristle-pointed and

 Horns of caps, divaricate. a. 1. of the trailing shoots undivided.
