brownish, but many were newly out, and there was no trace of 

 berries. JAMES WATERSTON. 



Viola Pesneaui (Rouy and Foueaud} in Scotland. This is the 

 Pansy which I recorded as V. Curtisii, from the Torr Sands in 

 Wigtownshire, in this Journal, 1899, p. 32. Mr. E. G. Baker has 

 kindly identified it, and he puts it under V. Curtisii as a variety.

Utrieularia oehroleuea, R. Hartm., in " Botaniska Notiser,' 

 35, 1857. 



U. brevicornis, Celak., " Oest. Bot. Zeitschr.," 253, 1886. 



U. intermedia, Hayne, sub-sp. oehroleuea, Lange, "Handb. Danske 

 Fl," 524, 1887. 



This plant, formerly supposed to be confined to Sweden and 

 Norway, has been found in Finland, Denmark, Germany, and 

 Bohemia, and has been described as a species by Celakovsky (I.e.] ; 

 but Ascherson pointed out that it was the same as R. Hartman's plant. 



The object of this note is to ask botanists who may visit the 

 Isle of Skye to gather any Utricularias, especially near Broadford. 

 In this difficult genus specimens without flowers are almost im- 

 possible to determine with certainty ; but I possess a delicate speci- 

 men, gathered by Mr. Symers Macvicar in Skye, that I think may 

 prove to be the above species, though at present this can hardly be 

 called more than a surmise. I have beautiful specimens of the 

 Swedish plant, gathered by R. Hartman himself, e loco classico, and 

 sent me by Dr. Otto Nordstedt. 



In the "Trans. Bot. Soc." of Edinburgh, 110-112, 1894, the Rev. 

 E. F. Linton called attention to several specimens of the genus in 

 the Edinburgh Herbarium, as well as others, and urged the collect- 

 ing of specimens. 



The specimens gathered by the Rev. E. S. Marshall at "Moss 

 of Inschock " I quite think must be referred to U. Bremii, Heer. 

 With regard to size and development, the species vary greatly, and 

 Prahl. describes a/ gigantea of U. neghda, Lehm., over three feet 

 long("Fl. Schleswig-Holstein," 173, 1890). 



British specimens of neglecta (G. Nicholson and Beckwith) may 

 be referable to the var. macroptera, G. Bruckner ("Arch. Fr. Nat. 

 Meek.," vii. 234). 



"Fl. Danica," t. 1262, has been cited for U. intermedia, Hayne, 

 and was so by I.ange at p. 42 of "Norn. Fl. Dan.," 1887 ; but at 

 p. 170 he refers it to oehroleuea. 



One would suppose it would be very difficult to detect hybrids 

 between these plants, but Melander has described a U. litoralis - 

 U. oehroleuea x intermedia (" Bot. Notiser," 175, 1887). Madauss has 

 described a U.spectabilis ("Arch. Ver. Fr. Nat. Mecklb.," xxvi. pp. 49-5 5, 

 1873) which Ascherson and Graebner (" Fl. d. Nord. Flachlander," 

 650, 1899) make merely a synonym of neglecta. A. BENNETT.
