by one of us in 1874, as identical with Mr. Melvill’s Prestwich 
H, diaphanum Fr. Both stations happen to be within short range 
H. dia 
nell, sent through the Watson B. E.C. as H. orarium. Festiniog, 
organ. 
H. diaphanoides Lindeb., var. apiculatum, Linton, n. var. 
plant was noticed on the Unich Water above Loch Lee, Forfar, in 
1889, which was sent after a time through Mr. Hanbury t 
Lindeberg, but failed to receive a name. Cultivation has, however, 
brought out (what we had a suspicion of before) a clear affinity with 
H. diaphanoides. The wild specimens bear much resemblance to 
H. zetlandicum Beeby, differing chiefly in the leaves; and, in fact, 
the var. apiculatum is a connecting link between these two species. 
It differs from H. diaphanoides, the leaves of which are of a dull, 
often cesious green, in having fresh green leaves, more cuneate at 
the base, and more blunt and apiculate, the upper part of the leaf 
covered with bulbous-based hairs. On the whole, it has the look of 
a somewhat refined alpine or northern variety of H. diaphanoides. 
H1. sparsifolium Lindeb. Sent us unnamed by Lieut.-Col. Rim- 
ington, from R. Creed, Stornoway, Lewis, *Outer Hebrides. Here 
{ T., var 
confertum Lindeb., a plant for which, by Mr. Hanbury’s directions, 
we were searching. This latter form has leaves rather crowded
