of Faroe plants, where that of G. palustre is wanting. On 

 the other hand, the London Catalogue shows that G. uligi- 

 nosum is absent from three out of twenty local Floras in 

 Britain: it is noted as "rather rare" in the Edinburgh 

 circuit ; local in Moray ; unnoticed by Babington and Bal- 

 four in the Hebrides; and I fear that the G. uliginosum 

 recorded from Sutherland (Outlines Geogr. Distr.) was G. 

 palustre, but I do not possess a specimen fi-om that coimty.
