Although I am unfurnished with localities, there can be no doubt that this 
plant occurs as generally in Cornwall as M. palustris, from which it is not 
usually distinguished.

Forde bog near Newton, given as a station for this species in Tor. Fl. re- 
quires confirmation, specimens thence in the Torquay Museum being, as 
Dr. Trimen indicates, M. palustris, 
Mr. Bentham throws the three last-mentioned forms of Myosotit together 
under the head of M. palustris, with these remarks: — "Modern botanists 
divide it [M. palustris^ into three: the true Forget-me-not, Vfhich is often 
nearly glabrous, with a broad flat corolla, and short broad teeth to the caly^c ; 
M. repens, which is more hairy, with narrower lobes to the calyx, reaching 
to about the middle ; and M. ccespitosa, with a smaller corolla, with the limb 
often slightly concave ; the first is more common in the South, the last in 
the North, but they all three run so much one into another as not to be dis- 
tinguishable with certainty even as varieties." However correct this may be 
as to the two former, I incline to regard M. ccespitosa as a good species. I 
remember that Mr. Briggs and myself some two or three years since (during 
a ramble in Bickleigh-vale) carefully examined and compared a series of 
these plants on the spot, and were perfectly satisfied of the distinctness of 
M. ccespitosa from M. palustris ; but we were not so satisfied with regard to 
M. repens. 
M. sylvatica (Ehrh.) — E.B.S. 2630. — Shady places, rare. — D. 
Saii in Fl. Dev. to be "frequent" in "woods," but no stations 
1 A specimen from this locality, collected July, 1851, is in Mr. C. E. Par- 
ker's herbarium in the Museum of the Torquay Natural History Society. — 
Trim.
