OBS. Hybrids: E. adnatum Lamyi-montanum (Hausknechtianum Borb.) ; 
E. adnatum-parviflorum (according 1 to Hausknecht) ; E. adnatum-montanum; 
E. hirsutum-parviflorum (intermedium Mer). ; E. montanuin-obscurum (aggre- 
gatum Celak.): E. montanum-parviflorum (limosum Sohur. 1866, crassicaule 
Grml. 1870); E. montanum-roseum (glanduligerum Knaf.); E. montanum-tri- 
gonum (Freynii Celak.); E. obscurum-palustre (ligulatum Bakh.) ; E. origani- 
folium-trigonum; E. palustre-parviflorum (rivulare Wahl, virgatum Reut. not 
alior.); E. parviflorum-roseum (persicinum Rchb., opacum Peterm.). — Also: 
E.rosmarinifolium-spicatum (according to Thomas); E. adnatum-palustre (semi- 
adnatum Celak.); it. anagallidifolium-origanifolium (both, according to Hauskn., 
in Switzerland). E. gemmiferum Bor. (Winkleri Kern.), indicated on St. Bern- 
hard, appears to be an intermediate form between E. origanifolium and E. roseum.
