54 BEITISH HIEEACIA. 



British species, believing that the Gordale plant was H. pallidum f 

 and not identical with the continental H. oreades.j 



Iff. SAXIFBAGUM {Fnea), which differs from the preceding 

 in having a more rigid seem, leafy in the lower part and branched 

 above, lanceolate leaves, and acuminate phyllaries (also enumerated 

 by Fries as British) I omit, fearing that approximating forms of 

 H. argentewm or of ff. nitidum have been mistaken for it. 



Professor Grenier informs me that Scottish specimens of ff. argen- 

 tewm transmitted to him, are to all appearance precisely similar to 

 his specimens of H. saxifragum received from Tries, showing how 

 closely they often resemble each other when in a dried state.] 



* Styles more or less Iwid.
