The plants from the localities marked thus (*) are labelled E. media 
by the collectors, a species which does not occur in this county so far as 
my own observations serve. This species, E. latifolia, varies much in 
the shape of the leaves, in the flowers being in dense or lax racemes, 
and in the basal ridges being rugose or smooth, the latter character 
being remarkably inconstant, as I find that of two plants from the 
same rootstock one will have these processes smooth and the other 
distinctly rugose plicate. Plants from some of the above districts have 
been submitted to Mr. J. G. Baker, F.R.S., and he pronounces them to 
be E. latifolia, thus confirming my own opinion.
