3. S. c/andestina (L.) . Feuilles rad. incisdes ou pinnatilobees 
a lobes irreg* cren^les, e'troites, oblongues ou sublanc^olees. The 
corolla of this is not so long as S. Marquandi, and the leaves are 
more cut. 
4. S. horminoides (Pourr.). Feuilles rad. profon* pinnatifides 
ou pinnatipartites, ovales aigues. Coteaux secs du Midi et du 
sud-ouest. Not the S. Jiorviinoides as described by Coste. 
5. S. jnultifida (Sibth. and Sm.). Feuilles rad. profond* pinnati- 
partites ou subpinnatsequees, a segments ou div. incises-lacinies.

The treatment of Galeopsis Tetrahit, G. Ladamim^ and the

Die Nordischen Alchemilla Vulgaris-formen, by Harald 
Lindberg. Helsingfors, 1909, ex Acta Societatis Scientiarum 
Fennicae, Tom. XXXVII. no. 10. In this critical account of the 
northern forms of Alchanilla vulgaris the author has described and 
illustrated by most excellent photographic reproductions 14 species. 
Three of these are British, — i. A. prafensis, Schmidt (the vulgaris 
sensu stricto of Buser and of my ‘ List ’), more frequent in the South 
of England. 2. A. minor, Huds. (originally described as a species) 
was in the second edition of the ‘Flora Anglica’ reduced to a 
variety of A. vulgaris. This is for the greater part the A. filicaitlis 
of Buser and of British authors, as in my ‘ List’) ; it is widely spread 
in the British Isles, Lindberg gives the common British plant as 
filicaulis, Buser, *vesiiia, Buser. Of this he has a *filicaulis (Buser), 
Lindb., f., which occurs in Forfar, W. Inverness, and Shetland. 
3. A. alpestris, Schmidt, which although more frequent in Northern 
Britain is found as far south in England as Sussex, and is widely 
spread in Ireland. Very copious localities from the area treated of 
by Lindberg are given, as well as maps showing the distribution of 
each species. Dr. Lindberg is to be congratulated upon an excel- 
lent piece of critical systematic work.
