  The 
  occurrence 
  of 
  numerous 
  pores 
  on 
  the 
  outer 
  side 
  of 
  

   the 
  branch 
  leaves 
  has 
  led 
  Aongstrcem 
  to 
  refer 
  this 
  character- 
  

   istic 
  species 
  to 
  S. 
  laricinum 
  (Spruce) 
  and 
  therefore 
  to 
  place 
  

   It 
  in 
  the 
  SuBSEcuNDA. 
  Lesquereux 
  and 
  James 
  also 
  erron- 
  

   eously 
  place 
  it 
  in 
  the 
  Subsecunda 
  (Manual 
  p. 
  20). 
  I 
  my- 
  

   self 
  a 
  so, 
  in 
  1881, 
  in 
  Die 
  Europ. 
  Torfm. 
  p. 
  90, 
  committed 
  the 
  

   mistake 
  of 
  designating 
  specimens 
  of 
  Aongstrcem's 
  S. 
  Un- 
  

   cmum 
  as 
  var. 
  b. 
  La-pponlcum. 
  This 
  type, 
  however, 
  belongs 
  

   unquestionably 
  to 
  the 
  Cuspidata, 
  and 
  moreover 
  in 
  habit 
  has 
  

  

  the 
  greatest 
  resemblance 
  to 
  S. 
  cusfldatimi 
  (Ehrh.) 
  Russ.

  By 
  the 
  presence 
  on 
  the 
  outside 
  of 
  the 
  leaf 
  of 
  larger 
  or 
  

   smaller 
  pores 
  with 
  sharply 
  defined 
  outlines, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  by 
  the 
  

   tnangular-hnguiform 
  stem 
  leaves, 
  nearly 
  always 
  fibrillose 
  at 
  

   me 
  apex, 
  this 
  species 
  is 
  easily 
  and 
  certainly 
  distinguishable 
  

   both 
  from 
  the 
  forms 
  of 
  S. 
  cuspidatum 
  and 
  from 
  S. 
  obtusuin.
