inconstant. The larger number of specimens seen by me in 1890 
and 1894 had spotted petals, and were erect, and a few of the 
bane and more upright plants were quite ebracteate. Still, the 
Anglesey plant has a different facies from the H. guttatum of 
Jersey, the leaves being broader and more obovate, and of a more 
surface, a character mentioned by Syme for H. guttatum, but not 
referred to him under H. Breweri, and I think it to be a good 
geographical race. 
I may add that H. Breweri is also found at Three Castle Head, 
Co. Cork, and in Tnishbofin and Inishark (see Cyb. Hib. ed. 2, p. 41), 
and H. guttatum is also said to grow in both tp ae I have 
seen no Irish specimens of the latter plant, but I am red that 
both occur. It would be interesting to see if the Trish j is pies 
identical with the Jersey plant.
