9. S. cmspitosa (L.) ; radical I. crowded 3 — 5-cleft obtuse 
veined fringed, fl. 1 — 5, "pet. rounded 3 -nerved," cal. half in- 
ferior, sep. obtuse. — E. B. 794.— Gerraen broad and rounded be- 
low. " Common base of the I. 5-ribbed." Mr. Mackay reduces 
S. incurvifolia to this. Fl. Hib. 68. — /}. decipiens (Sin.) ; larger 
and with more numerous flowers. — E. B. 455. — Caernarvonshire. 
Westmoreland (Dickson !). Aberdeenshire. Kerry. P. V. VI. 
10. S. hirta (Sm.) ; I. 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. P. VII. I. 
11. S. affinis (Don) ; 1. crowded 3 — 5-lobed with a very broad 
base those of the trailing shoots 3-cleft : lobes linear acute 
fringed, fl. few (2 — 4) corymbose, pet. oblong 3-nerved infexed 
at the edges, cal. half inferior deeply divided into subulate acute 
sepals. — The 5-cleft 1. few ; lobes of the others nearly parallel or 
slightly spreading. St. 3 — 4 in. high, erect, with a few linear 
simple leaves, glandular. — I have examined this plant and S. hirta 
upon Brandon Mountain and consider them as distinct from 
S. hypnoides. — Summitof Brandon Mountain, Kerry. P. VII. I. 
12. S. hypnoides (L.) ; radical 1. 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, 2276, 
2277- S. platypetala, hypnoides, elongella, leptophylla, and denu- 
data of Smith. — a.. 1. of the trailing shoots undivided. — /3. 1. of 
the trailing shoots 3-cleft, lobes broad. — y. as /3. with linear 
lanceolate widely spreading lobes. — These varieties are scarcely 
worth notice. In all of them the lobes of the I. are gradually 
narrowed from just above the middle to an acute point. — Moun- 
tains. P. V.— VII. 
13. S. Icetevirens (Don) ; trailing shoots procumbent elongated, 
1. 5- or 3-parted : lobes linear acute, calyx-segments lanceolate 
mucronate, pet. spathulate emarginate. Don. — " The recurved 
points of the segments of the 1. may possibly distinguish this as 
a species." W. Wilson. I know nothing of this plant. — Moun- 
tains of Angus, Aberdeenshire, and north of Loch Lomond. P. 
VI. S. 
14. S. pedatifida (Sm.) ; radical 1. and also those of the short 
sterile shoots upon very long stalks divided into 3 deep linear- 
lanceolate acute lobes, lateral lobes deeply bifid, calyx almost stipe-
