Parasitical upon Ivy in the south and west of England and Wales, 

 LeixUp and Mucross Abbey, Ireland. %. 6 — 8. — M. Reuter de- 

 scribes the insertion of the stamens to be only a little below the 

 middle: we find them much nearer the base; so that this character

 from the two last by its yellow stigma cleft only two-thirds down 

 instead of to the base.
