Forms have been collected in Lanesboro, Stockbridge and Sheffield 
which appear to be hybrids between R. Carolina {R. humilis Man. ed. 
7) and R. rubiginosa. 
In Sheffield and Egremont forms are frequent which must pass as 
hybrids l>etween R. Carolina (R. humilis Man. ed. 7) and R. palustris. 
Other forms appear to be hybrids between R. blanda and R. palustris. 
There is a great deal of variety among these forms, and the whole 
material needs careful study.
