Has.—In marshes on drier subalpine heaths. 
Evrore.—Finland: In Ostrobothnia (Lackstrom), Helsingfors (Lindberg), 
Isl. Aland (Bomansson). Denmark: In Isl. Sjalland (Lange), and Jylland (Jensen). 
England: Penzance, Cornwall (Curnow) ;. Yanaton Down, Devon, mixed with 
Sph. cymbifolium (Holmes) ; Sutton Park, Warwick (Bagnall) ; Mardale, Westmore- 
land, and Stockton Forest, York (Stabler); New Forest, Hants (George) ; Wheel- 
dale, Goathland, York (Braithwaite). Scotland: Strath Garve, Ross, and Isl. Lewis, 
Hebrides (Braithwaite). Jreland: Near Lough Bray, Wicklow, and Connor Hill, 
Kerry (Lindberg) ; in Antrim (Moore). 
Of this variety there are two forms, one denser and generally 
much tinged with ochraceous, which in this country appears to be 
the most widely distributed state of the species, the other laxer, 
taller, and entirely green, appears to prefer more shady places, and 
is well represented by the Sutton Park specimens. Lindberg 
records that it has also been sent from Java by Teysmann, where 
it grows among the roots of orchids, and that it is analogous to 
var. congestum of Sph. cymbifolium. 
Var. y. stenophyllum, Linvs. 
Plants more or less pale lurid green, short, dense, and irregu- 
larly branched. Branch leaves ovate-oblong, less concave and 
cucullate, and almost entire above.

Evrore.—Finland: Isl. Hogland (Lindberg). xgland: Penzance, Cornwall 
(Cumow); Staveley, Westmoreland (Barnes); Rowdsey Moss, Ulverston, Lanca- 
shire (Miss Hodgson). 
This is the rarest form with us, and has not yet been found 
with fruit; it corresponds to the var. sguarrosulum of Sph. cymbi- 
folium. The specimen n. 10 in most copies of my Exsiccata is 
this plant. ; 
4. Sphagnum cymbifolium (Euruart), Hepw. 
Pi. V. 
Dioicous, pale green, often tinged with purple, the stem with 
three layers of cuticular cells. Stem leaves smaller, with smaller 
cells. Branch leaves less rigid, more elongated, their hyaline cells
