| notes: | Oxycoccus quadripetala: I once looked up Gilbert's reference, and decided that his name could not stand. Anyhow, the plant is our cranberry, which I prefer to call V. oxycoccus; and this specimen is the usual lowland British variety and not var. micophyllum. (See my remarks in "The New Phytologist" Dec., 1912). - C.E.M. |
