English Botany t. 338, Aug. 1, 1796. “ Dr. Smith and 
Sir Thos Cullum : Icklingham Heath, 8 miles from Bury ; went 
to Elden, the habitat of Ray, where Mr. Hud[so]n, and S. 
T(aylor) found it a few years ago in profusion, but could not 
meet with a plant this time.” f 
This figure is not at all good for the English plant, the 
segments of the leaves are too wide for any form of it, or even 
for the cultivated plants for two stations. In fact the figure is 
much more like the var. maritima (.1. crithmifolia , 1)1.) than 
our specimens ; yet it was drawn from the Icklingham 
specimens. 
It occurs in Suffolk in two forms, and l believe that from 
Icklingham plains to be the var. longifolia, Wallroth. Sched. 
Crit. 457, 1 822. 
These forms can be distinguished as easily in winter 
(when cultivated) as in summer ; longifolius has the leaf- 
segments longer, more compacted, more shining, and the 
habit is more graceful, and frost is more abundant on it than 
on the other form.
