Sphagnum cymbifolium var. squarrosulum N. & H. VVildesley 
Green, Salop, June, ’97. R. de G. Benson. “ Perhaps the leaves 
are squarrose enough.” — Prof. Barker. “ I think sufficiently marked, 
always provided it is not A turfaceum Warnst , which is like cym- 
bi/olium , with squarrose leaves.”—H. N Dixon. 
S. Austini var. imbricatum Ldb. Near Actrinloch, Latherow, 
Caithness, 9 April, 1900. W. Lillie 
A. turfaceum Warnst. Swampy canal, Brookwood. v. c. 17, 7 
April, 1900. E. C. Horrf.ll. 
A. medium Limpr. White Moss, Hindburn. v. c. 60. Oct., 1899. 
J. A. VV h eldon & A Wilson. —Foulshaw Moss, Westmoreland, 
Sept., 1899. Messrs Stabler, Lett & Waddell. 
A. papillosum var. sublaeve Warnst. (teste E C. Horrell). Udale, 
W. Lancs., Oct., 1899. J. A. Wheldon & A. Wilson. 
A. rigidum var. compactum Schpr.- Whitemoss, Hindburn, v.c. 60. 
Oct., 1899. J. A. Wheldon & A. Wilson. “ Not quite the var. 
compactum as that is represented in Herb. Whitehead. Looks as 
near the type, so is perhaps an intermediate form.”—Prof. Barker. 
“ I think all our W. Lancs. A. rigidum is referable to var. compactum. 
We have forms nearer to the type than this, but which were not 
accepted as such in previous exchanges. It is verv variable in 
colour and density.”—J. A. Wheldon. “ I should certainly have 
considered this var. compactum.'' 1 —H. N. Dixon. 
A. squarrosum Pers. Skiddaw, July, 1897. R. de G. Benson. 
“Cuticle of more than two layers of hyaline cells. This suggests 
A. teres var. squarrosulum:'— Prof. Barker. “This must be held 
nearer squarrosum than teres , in spite of the more numerous cuti- 
cular layers.”—H. N. Dixon. 
A. subsecundum var. contortum. Longmynd, Salop, July, 1897. 
R. de G. Benson. “ Smaller form looks like badly developed 
contortum ; larger may perhaps belong to var. turgidum ? ” — Prof. 
Barker. “ Two forms, near vars. turgidum and squarrosulum ; but 
on the whole I should put both as vars. of contortum." —H. N. Dixon. 
A subsecundum var contortum (with forma simplicissimum Milde. ?) 
Skiddaw, July, 1897. R de G. Benson. “ I don’t think there is 
any typical contortum here, nor is it probably the same as Milde’s 
simplicissimum , though it seems not possible at present to see a 
specimen of this last.”—Prof. Barker “ Mr. Horrell says that 
this ought to be A. Gravetii Warnst , if there is any value in the 
character of the relative sizes of the pores on the upper and under 
sides of the leaves of stem and branches. A. Gravetii is one of 
the recent species Warnstorf has obtained by minute dissection of 
A. subsecundum. It is a young and imperfectly developed specimen, 
and Mr. Horrell is not prepared to insist that it is actually S. 
Gravetii , (an example of which is No. 19 Braith. Sphagna exsicata).”
