Native. Glareal, Agrestal. Distinguished from F. Ger- 

 manica, in Biitain, still more recently than F. apiculata; 

 the first distinct notice of it, I believe, having been made 

 public by Mr. G. S. Gibson, who has been singulai'ly suc- 

 cessful in detecting localities for new or obscure species in 

 our Flora. Although only first announced as British in the 

 summer of 1848, it has already been reported from Dorset, 

 Sussex, Surrey, Herts, Essex, and Cambridge. Authentic 

 specimens of all the three allied species (germanica, apicu- 

 lata, spatulata) having been numerously distributed by the 

 Botanical Society of London, in the cmTent year of 1849, 

 most English botanists will be prepai-ed to recognize them 

 when met with ; so that we may expect to hear of the oc- 

 currence of this one in various other counties besides those 

 named above.
