(G. elongatum Presl.), which according to Rouy (FI. France, viii, 
p 43) has very smooth stems, much thickened at the nodes, and 
lanceolate leaves, not dilated towards the apex. It seems nearer 
to var. umbrosum Aschers., FI. Brand, as described by Rouy (l.c.) 
1 have collected in Surrey a robust form of G. palustre that differs 
from this plant and agrees with the description of var. elongatum. 
— H.W.P. This does not quite agree with the true G. elongatum 
Presl., but it is the var. elongatum of some British authors. The 
true elongatum has leaves attenuated at the summit and ample, 
many-flowered panicles. This plant is a form of var. umbrosum 
Ascherson. Dr. Cesarina Cbiti in Nuov. Giorn. Bot. Ital. Nuov. 
set'. XVI, has a careful paper on these plants. Ascherson, in' 
Flor. Brandenb., describes var. umbrosum as follows (traits.): 
Leaves large, thin, linear-obovate, in approximating whorls 
Inflorescence few-flowered. Shady marshy places. There seems 
to be a slight discrepancy between tb is and Rouy’s description of 
the plant. The latter says that the panicles are “large, many- 
flowered.” — E. G. Baker.
