*) The true P. procumbens Sibth. is more like P. Tormentilla and 
is a good species, fairly distributed in North Germany; P. mixta Nolte is 
a hybrid between procumbens and reptans and is certainly not unlike our 
plant. The true P. procumbens is found according to Zimmeter near Win¬ 
terthur (Siegfried); P. mixta near Geneva (Chenevard).
