Native. Paludal. Possibly this may occur in every 

 county, although existing records certify it in scarcely 

 more than 60. Its omission from some of the local cata- 

 logues, for spaces of several miles in diameter, together 

 with the probability that S. uniglumis and S. multicaulis 

 are occasionally recorded mider name of S. palustris, has 

 induced me to put the comital estimate rather below the 

 highest number. I have a specimen much resembling S. 

 palustris in other respects, but scarcely three inches high, 

 and with the nuts either reticulated or covered over closely 

 with impressed dots, rather less in size than the nuts of 

 S. j)alustris, and crowned with a broader and shorter per- 

 sistent base of the style. Tliis was sent to me several 

 years ago, from the Mull of Cantyre, by Prof. Balfour, 

 labelled " multicaulis ? " Perhaps the same tiling, with 

 the nuts immature, has been received from the Rev. G. 

 Gordon, as S. pauciflora, from Culben Sands, Moray.
