Esq. 

 This species of Cotton-grass is easily recognised by 

 its soft grass-like leaves and the downy stalks of its 

 spikes. /3 is only a slender variety. I suspect that 

 slender specimens both of Eriophorum angustifolium, 

 and Eriophorum pubescens pass under the name of 

 Eriphorum gracile. For the correctness of the quo- 

 tations of the synonyms from Wahlenberg's Fl. 

 Lapp, and Hoppe Fasc, I rest upon the authority 

 of specimens from the late Dr. Swartz and Mr, 

 Thomas of Bex.
