O b s .—I have taken as type of Jung, auhmnalis, De C., n. 528
Moug. et Nest. Stirpes Crypt. Vog-Ehen. Exsio., which agrees
entirely with the description of Jung, subagncalis, Nees, in habitat,
habit, more elliptic leaves and narrower perianth witli ciliated
mouth.
Jung. Schraderi, Mart., I consider merely a variety of the
same, distinguished by its more marshy habitat, laxer habit,
broader leaves and perianth, which, so far as I have been able to
observe, has no long cilia at its mouth.
This very rare species is at once distinguished from any of
the other round-leaved ones with stipules, by the very different
bracts and in the type by the ciliated perianth.
