. subsecundum Limpr. does not appear to be very common in * 
Britain, most of the plants under this name in herbaria belonging 
to S. rufescens Warnst. or some other of the numerous segregates. 
S. subsecundum in the restricted sense is almost always a much more 
delicate plant than most other forms, and is less frequently found 
floating or completely submerged.
