A SYNOPSIS OP TILLANDSIE^E. 79 



I append the more interesting of Herr Murbeck's determinations. 

 The separation of the different forms does not appear to me to be 

 always easy, and I think that a good knowledge of the group is 

 needed before they can be accurately named. 



P. reptans L., var. microphylla Tratt. — Chalky hillocks in the 

 Fens, Cambridge (Bennett). 



P. mixta Nolte. — Surrey ! (Marshall). Maresfield, E. Sussex!
