The following is a generalised description from notes on fresh 
specimens, but all the characters given are not present in any one 
plant. Stems mostly stouter, more erect, more hairy and with 
stouter root-fibres than in E. palustre. Leaves mostly of E. palustre 
type, but sometimes more pubescent, and sometimes with the 
rounded base of E. parvijlorum. TEstival stoles sometimes present 
and mostly of E. palustre type, but sometimes stouter. Roots 
more branching than in E. palustre. Flower-heads nodding or 
erect Stigmas clavate in form, but obscurely 4-lobed. Seeds 
various : generally of E. palustre form and proportions, about 
T6 mm. long (rarely 2‘0 mm.), not so bright brown or shining as 
in E. palustre , usually fusiform and with produced testa; but 
sometimes shorter, broader in proportion, darker olive-grey in 
colour, rather granulate (this, where it occurs, indicates E. parvi- 
florum ), and lacking the produced testa, or with testa only 
obscurely produced. With the putative parents.— J.E.L.
