plant, must be taken for what it is worth. He also criticises the

and is the Helleborus occidentalis of Reuter. See also ‘Journ. Bot.’

Cardamine amara , L., forma. Growing profusely for ten yards 
along a disused canal that is sometimes wet marsh, at others shallow 
water. The patch was continuous with a smaller quantity of typical 
C. amara, but no intermediates were to be found. The apparent 
sterility of the anthers would point to a hybrid origin, but the habit 
and structure are entirely those of C. amara save for the small petals.

small flowers. Hallier in ‘Koch’s Synopsis,’ 1892, p. 95, enumerates

of this plant in his ‘Flora von Nieder-Oesterreich,’ p. 453, but the plant 
in question does not seem to agree with any of these.” — E. G. Baker.
