NOTES ON SOME SCANDINAVIAN PLANTS. 333 
the apex, whilst they differ from those of R. domesticus in their thicker 
texture, denticulate or crenulated margin, and the presence of one or more 
calli. The only English specimens I have seen at all like this are from 
Lewes, collected by Mr. Warren ; the enlarged petals, however, are not 
cordate in this plant. 2. propinquus, indeed, could not be expected to 
grow at Lewes, since it is most unlikely that the northern R. domesticus, 
one of its supposed parents, should occur there. In the north of Britain,

sidered to be a hybrid between R. obtusifolius (Friesii) and R. domesticus, 
and which occurs in Scotland. It is not very accurately figured in ‘ En- 
. glish Botany,’ ed. 3. t. wccxvir, and differs from R. propinquus in its 
leaves which are not crisped, and the greater dentieulation and broader 
apex of the ripe enlarged petals. 
lyceria distans, Sm., var. y. pulvinata (of Hartman's and Lange's 
Floras). This curious little form occurs abundantly with Sagina procum- 
bens in the courtyard of the old palace at Copenhagen, growing between 
the Stones. The stems form tufts not above 4 in. in height, and the stiff 
habit is very different from that of the species, the panicle- branches are also 
stiff and short, not flexuose, and never deflexed, even in the most advanced 
condition. I have not met with it in England, but its peculiarities may be 
perhaps due to its singular situation. For a discussion on the affinities 
of this plant, however, reference must be made to Professor Crépin’s 
nearly exhaustive memoir on the group contained in the 5th fascicle of 
his ‘Notes’ (p. 281-234), where some curious points are raised. I 
hope to make a further study of the plant. à 
Bromus ramosus, Huds. (B. asper, Murr.) The two forms included 
under this name have been more than once alluded to in this Journal (VI. 
n ; VIL. 191, 376 ; IX. 238, 270, 336). In Denmark both occur, but,
