The variety |3. differs only in its smaller size, and in having much fewer 

 capitula.

This species occurs throughout the northern hemisphere from the arctic 

 circle to the equator, and in every region it seems to present the same varia- 

 tions as to its size and branching that it does with us. I have carefully com- 

 pared the Indian specimens with English ones, and they appear to be essen- 

 tially the same. 



**** Stamina 3 v. 6. Semina ohovata. Culmi nudi, continui, inttis medulldfarcti. 

 Folia imperfecta evoluta, tantiim radicalia. Inflorescentia unilateralis.

Common throughout the northern and central parts of Europe, but the spe- 

 cies does not appear to occur either in Northern Asia or North America, unless 

 it be what authors have described under the name of effusus. The species 

 would seem to be pretty general in the Himalayas, having been gathered on 

 Mussooree, Choor, and other mountains by Dr. Royle, and in Purbunni, a 

 region situate beyond the Himalayas, by Mr. Inglis. I ought to notice, how- 

 ever, that the Indian specimens, on a comparison with the European ones, are 

 found to differ in having a longer capsule and broader sepals.
