been called hybrids between the two species mentioned. 

 It differs from F. Sclmltz's type of sup|)osed similar parent- 

 age in having narrower and more serrate leaves and more 

 bristle-pointed calyx teeth, being about intermediate in 

 position between that botanists ' i'St. sylvatica x -palustris 

 and the English cornfield form of St. ijuhistvis. With 

 regard to the general question as to the classification of 

 these forms, one or two considerations seem to warrant a 

 cautious attitude towards those wlio would attribute to 

 them a hybrid origin. In the first place they do not seem 

 to have been produced artificially by inter-crossing the 

 supposed parents. Secondly, they form parts of a complete 

 chain ending in the common type of S. palustris. Thirdly, 

 a very similar series is formed by the closely allied 

 S. aspera^ Michx. in N. America, where S. sylvatica does 

 not occur." — S. T. Dunn.
