Specimens of this presumed hybrid from Laugar near Reykjavík are kept in
H.H. (coll. Kr. and C.G.). There are also records from some few other places:
Melstaðir (A.F.) and Helgavatn, N. (St.St.), cp. E. Rostrup, 1887, p. 183; Hvítár-
vellir, Stafholt, W. (A.F., cp. E. Rostrup, loc. cit.) ; Eyðar, E. (H.J., 1896,
no. 330).
Nothing definitive can, however, be said about these records.
Potamogeton lucens Linn.
P. lucidum, K. & M., 1770, p. 205.—P. lucens, Vahl, 1840, p. 374.—Babington,
1871, p. 334.
Recorded by K. & M., loc. cit., and entered in all the best lists, cfr. Babington,
1871, loc. cit. No specimens are in evidence and it should certainly be excluded
from the Icelandic flora.
