Eange of mean annual temj)erature 51 — 47. 



Native. Paludal. Sometimes labelled C. stricta, some- 

 times also C. paludosa, by British collectors. But al- 

 though thus occasionally mistaken for other species, I 

 have no reason to suppose many erroneous stations on 

 record for C. acuta itself. The habitat of Orkney will 

 require verification ; but it is countenanced by the name 

 of this species being included in the list of Faroe plants.
