KUNGL. SV. VET. AKADBMIENS HANDLINGAR. BAND 55. N:0 5. 215 



A specimen of f. covimunis Hagstr. in herb. Nat. Hist. Mus. Stockh. is evidently 

 mislabelled »Pitea Lpmk» (see also S. Almquist, 1. c. !) without closer statement of 

 locality or collector. Without doubt it originates from Mjosjo, Jemtland, where the 

 same form is gathered by Tiselius (1881) and others. — A great many specimens 

 are preserved in the Museums of Stockholm, Uppsala and Lund.

 Lund., Gothenb.). — Norway, Asker, in Semsvand NoviK (hb. Stockholm.), f. longi-

 type and with floating leaves, f. coriaceus {P. coriaceus Fryer); but the other forms 

 are also represented in typical specimens and transitions between them; Hunting-

 Nolte », later on by P. Graebner named P. berolinensis, and lastly regarded as a 

 variety of P. lucens X prcelongus (Potamog. 1907, 137) or as a P. lucens X gramineus 

 but not a P. Zizii-iovm (Synopsis 1913), corresponds nearly with f. lucescens with 

 rather broad (20 — 25 mm) short-petioled leaves and intermediate ligules, has nothing 

 to do with P. frmlongus Wulfen. Bavaria bor., Erlangen, 89, Gltjck and others

 holm.). — Italy. A plant in the Nat. Hist. Museum (Bot.) of Stockholm, accord- 

 ing to the label (»Herb. sic.*) originating from Sicily, belongs also to this hybrid. 

 This station is the most south of Europe. As P. gramineus L., as far as I know, 

 is not at present met with in Sicily, this Zizii-iorva. may be a remainder from 

 past times. But of course it is also possible that, from a more northern locality, it 

 has any way been brought to its present place. It is in all parts a P. gramineus X 

 lucens f. communis Hagstr., but is by Tinico held for a hicens-iovm and also by
