Sal. Growing up through tufts of mosses on the summit of 

 Mount Brandon, Dr. Taylor, 1813. On the same mountain 

 more recently, Mr. Mitten. Yery rare ; these are the only persons 

 who have collected the plant on Mount Brandon that I know 

 of. Dr. Taylor in his description of the plant writes : — "This 

 was taken for Jung, nemorosa, when first brought downi from 

 Brandon hill. It differs, however by the taller size, the more 

 defiexed lower lobes of the leaves, the slight joining between 

 their lobes, and by the more considerable and more distant cilia 

 of their margins. From Jung, planifolia which accompanied it, 

 the present is known by the more squaiTOse leaves, the stronger 

 ciliation of their margins, the more considerable connection 

 between the lobes, and the more concave and less imbricated 

 leaves. The calyx has not been seen, nor indeed has the 

 plant been found again by the numerous acute observers that 

 have ascended its native mountain."
