Mr. Travis. In a wood at Middleton, Suffolk, abundant, found by D. E. 
Davy, Esq. Hooker. In Castle Eden Dean, Durham. Mr. Winch; also 
at Birch Carr, in the same county. Mr. Janson. In a shady lane beside

beyond the flowers: cluster many flowered, with a spiral stalk: 
calyx shorter than the stamens.

Nearly agrees with P. minor in general habit, but differs in its very spirally 
twisted flower-stalk, and in the declination and much greater length of its 
style. Stamens regularly incurved round the germen, as in P. minor, 
not directed upwards as in P. rotundifolia, neither is the style so recurved 
as in the latter, nor the flowers so large. E. Bot. A decided character 
is discoverable in the proportionate length of the styles and the figure of 
the stigma: the former being full as long as the mature capsule, and 
upon its incrassated, truncated extremity is placed the minute stigma , 
resembling five small tubercles. 
Intermediate Winter-green. P. rotundifolia. FI. Dan. This new 
British Pyrola was discovered by Mr. Winch in Scot’s Wood Dean, three 
miles west of Newcastle; also found in East Common Wood, near Hex¬ 
ham, Northumberland; in woods four miles north of Walsingham, Dur¬ 
ham; and at Corra Linn, near Lanark; but Mr. Winch says this rare 
plant does not grow at Studley, Yorkshire. In woods near Forres, belong¬ 
ing to the Earl of Moray. Hooker. Ards, &c. Donegal. E. Murphy, Esq. 
Cradley Park, near Stourbridge. Scott, in Purt. Ray’s plant, found 
about Halifax is now ascertained by Mr. Roberts Leyland to be this 
species, not P. rotundifolia. Sm. Eng. FI. P. June. E.) 
(Either P. media and minor are often found growing near together, or the 
difficulty of distinguishing them must have occasioned some confusion in 
their localities. E.) 
P. mi'nor. (Stamens regularly inflexed: style the same length, 
straight: stigma five-lobed, pointless, without a ring: cluster of 
many drooping flowers. E.)

{Style same length as the stamens. Trav. E.) Much resembles P. rotun¬ 
difolia, (but the distinction pointed out by Mr. Travis may render the 
discrimination of these species less difficult. Stem with four angles, one 
smaller, according to Smith. E.) Two flowering stems frequently arise 
from the same root. Whole plant smaller and weaker than P. rotundi¬ 
folia, (or P. media. E.) Woodw. Anthers with two holes at the base, 
but not protruded into tubes as in P. uniflora. Blossom pale pink or 
white. E. Bot. 
* Flowering stem and blossom appear to be greedily eaten by sheep, so that it is diffi¬ 
cult to procure perfect specimens. Mr. Travis, E.)
