ON SPARGANIUM NEGLECTUM. 
By W. H. Bessy. 
Durie Dr. Nordstedt’s visit to this country last year, I had the 
pleasure of showing him the two forms of Sparganium included in 
the S. ramosum Huds., and described in this Journal, 1885, p. 193. 
Since his return Dr. Nordstedt has drawn my attention to an 
nse. I am unab e 
the exact date of Curtis’s plate (‘ Flo. Lond.,’ fase. 6, pl. 842), but 
Lloyd, of Nantes, who also sends the same from Charente Inférieure, 
and Vendée, France. In England its northern limit is reached in 
ine W. ' 
appears less common in South Europe, as M. Lloyd’s communi- 
cations do not include it; and Dr. Mori’s paper shows it to be rare 
in Tuscany, although he records having met with it near Massarosa, 
while, as already pointed out, it is the northern form in this country. 
The — distribution, as shown by specimens seen by myself, is
