 (Jensen in G. et Eab. Hep. Eur. no. 301, sub nom. " J. catemdata.'") — 

 "Norfolk, on Holt and Edgefield heaths (Fkancis); Xew Forest (LTEiiL); 

 Bantry (Miss Hutchins)": Hook. I.e. 



These are all the localities I can at present cite with confidence, and I have seen 

 no English or French specimens, bnt those of my own gathering, which exactly agi'ee 

 with Hooker's figure. Until I refound the true ]plant, about 1842, "Wilson, Taylor, 

 and most of their contemporaries, had mistaken a vaiiety of y. divaricata for it. (See 

 Wilson in ' Phytologist ', I, 937). On the continent it is even yet imperfectly under- 

 stood, although it certainly exists in Denmark, and has been given in Eabenhorst's 

 'Hep. Eur.' under the name "yung. cateimlata"; as also on sandy heaths near the 

 foot of the western Pyrenees, where I have gathered it myself. In reahty it has very 

 slight affinity with C. divaricata, and in every respect, except the apical notch of the 

 leaves, and the absence of any thickening at the angles of the cells, it is exactly an 

 Odontochisma in miniature.
