the subsp. G. clebile Desv. (pro sp.), 1818. Smith, in “Eng. 
Flora,” describes the buds as purplish, and they are so coloured 
on tab. 206 of copy of his “Eng. Bot.” Ed. II. 1835. (The 
colouring of the plates in this edition varies considerably in 
different copies.) On the great Turfmoor of Somerset I have 
observed the whole plant purplish, whereas true palustre in the 
same bog remained green and stouter. Smith points out ( l.c . 
p. 201) quite correctly that “Dr. Withering’s figure erroneously 
represents the stem clothed with long, straight, erect hairs ” —

rather than destroy them I put them in the press. The hairy
