9. S. cespitosa (L.); root-1. crowded 3—5-cleft obtuse veined 
fringed, fl. 1—5, pet. rounded 3-nerved, cal. half inferior, sep. 
obtuse.—E. B. 794.—Germen broad and rounded below. Com- 
mon hase of the 1. not furrowed.—. S. decipiens (Sm.); larger 
and with more numerous flowers. E.B.455.—y. S. incurvifolia 
(D. Don); stem-l. more numerous with incurved lobes. E. B. 8. 
2909.—Caernarvonshire. Aberdeenshire. Kerry. P. V. VI. 
10. S. hirta (Sm.); 1. crowded 3—5-cleft, lobes lanceolate 
pointed fringed, fl. few (usually 3) loosely panicled, pet. obovate 
3-nerved, cal. half inferior, sep. ovate acute.—E. B. 2291 (good). 
—L. on the barren shoots as well as the radical 1. 3-cleft, the 
lateral lobes often divided half way down, lobes diverging. St. 
3—6 or 8 in. long, weak, ascending, hairy, glandular, bearing 2 
or 3 deeply 3-lobed leaves and a few simple linear bracts. Late- 
ral peduncles ultimately much overtopping the intermediate one. 
—On the summit of Brandon Mountain, Kerry; and Galty-more, 
Tipperary. West of Scotland. Mr. G. Don. P. VII. 8. I. 
11. 8S. affinis (Don); 1. of the trailing shoots 3—5-lobed with 
a very broad base fringed, lobes linear acute, fl. few (2—4), pet. 
oblong 3-nerved inflexed at the sides, cal. half inferior deeply 
divided into subulate acute sepals— E. B. S. 2903.—The 5-clett 
1. few; lobes of the others nearly parallel or slightly spreading. 
St. 1—3 in. high, erect, with a few linear simple leaves, glan- 
dular.—I have examined this plant and S. hirta upon Brandon 
Mountain and consider them as distinct from S. hypnoides.— 
Summit of Brandon Mountain, Kerry. P. VII. I. 
12. S. hypnoides (L.); root-l. 3—5-cleft, those of the trailing 
shoots undivided or 3-cleft, lobes all acute bristle-pointed and 
fringed, calyx half inferior, sep. ovate acute.—E. B. 454. S. pla- 
typetala (Ei. B. 2276), hypnoides, elongella (E. B. 2277), lepto- 
phylla, and denudata of Smith.—a. |. of the trailing shoots un- 
divided.—. 1. of the trailing shoots 3-cleft, lobes broad —y. as 
B. with linear lanceolate widely spreadmg lobes.—These varieties 
are scarcely worth notice. In all of them the lobes of the 1. are 
gradually narrowed from just above the middle to an acute point. 
“ Petiole inflated semiterete beneath.” —Mountains. P. V.—VII. 
13. S. letevirens (D. Don); trailing shoots procumbent elon- 
gated, 1. 5- or 3-parted, lobes linear acute, calyx-segments lan- 
ceolate mucronate, pet. spathulate emarginate. Don.— The re- 
curved points of the segments of the 1. may possibly distinguish 
this as a species.” W. Wilson. Unknown to me.—Mountains. 
Angus, Aberdeen, and north of Loch Lomond. P. VI. 8. 
14. S. pedatifida (Sm.); root-l. and those of the short sterile 
shoots upon very long stalks divided into 3 deep linear lanceolate 
acute lobes, lateral lobes deeply bifid, calyx almost superior, sep.
