form  of  O.  latifolia  common  in  alpine  marshes  in  Switzer¬ 
land  (of  which  I  have  never  seen  a  British  specimen),  yet 
I  think  it  cannot  he  referred  to  O.  incarnata.  The  floral 
characters  are  not  ver}T  obvious  in  the  dry  state,  but  the 
leaves  seem  too  spreading  and  too  narrowed  below,  with 
too  close  sheaths,  for  O.  incarnata ,  and  the  specimen  is 
apparently  similar  to  the  form  with  unspotted  leaves  that 
has  usually  been  named  O.  latifolia  by  British  botanists. 
I  do  not  know  the  named  varieties  of  these  plants,  but 
believe  the  extreme  forms  of  O.  latifolia,  with  broad, 
spreading,  spotted  leaves  and  deep  purple,  variegated 
flowers,  and  of  O.  incarnata ,  with  narrow,  erect,  unspotted 
leaves  and  salmon-coloured,  speckled  flowers,  to  be  con¬ 
nected  by  a  series  of  intermediates,  on  which  I  hope  to 
write  a  paper  at  some  future  date. — H.W.P.

Cowan,  jun.  A  fair  example  of  the  British  plant  which 
has  received  the  name  var.  bracteata  A.  Gray ;  but  our 
plant  is  perhaps  rather  a  climatic  form  than  a  permanent 
variety.— E.F.L.

A.  carinatum  L.  North  Bank  of  Tay,  below  Perth, 
E.  Perthsh.,  v.c.  89,  Sept.  11,  1909.  This  plant  has  long 
been  naturalized  on  both  banks  of  the  Tay  below  Perth. 
It  is  so  abundant  that  in  many  places  it  forms  the  turf. 
The  leaves  are  generally  withering  by  the  time  the  plant 
is  in  flower. — W.  Barclay.
