great work, 'Die Piianzenmisclilinge,' is S. puheHcens Martrin- 

 Donos ; the description of wliicli given by its author in the ' Florule 

 du Tarn ' will not lit in with my plant. I recently had the oppor- 

 tunity of examining, in the Paris Herbarium, a type-specimen of 

 S. minori-galericulata Michalet (Notice sur quelques plantes recem- 

 ment observees dans le departement du Jura et le pays de Gex) 

 the description of which seems to have escaped Dr. Focke. This 

 plant comes nearer 8. (jalericulata than any of those distributed to 

 the Club " (p. 93). 



" Mijosutis alpefitris Sehmidt. Ben Lawers, Perth, 3700 ft., 

 July 31, 1882. — Kevs. W. K. Linton and E. F. Linton, the latter 

 sending the following note respecting the new record for Forfar : — 

 From the foot of wet rocks in one of the western glens of the Clova 

 Mountains, Forfar, Aug. 3, 1883. The Eev, H. E. Fox and myself 

 found very little, and had to be chary m what we took, though we 

 were not aware at the time that it was unrecorded for Forfar. 

 Probably there was more on the wall of rocks above us, still we 

 could not see it " (p. 93). [Some reference should have been made 

 to Dr. Buchanan White's note on p. 26 of the ' Journal ' for this 

 year, from which it appears that the plant is an introduction to this 

 locality. — Ed. Journ. Bot.] 



" Jimcus lampyocarpus x acutijionis. Bog, Hedge Court, Mill- 

 pond, Surrey, Sept. 9, 1883. See Eeport for 1882, Since sending 

 to the Club I have sent further specimens to Dr. Buchenau, calling 

 his attention to the uniform sterility of the plant ; he replies (22nd 

 August, 188'1), 'From the form of the perianth, and from your 

 observations, probably = J acxitijiura x lampwcarjms. Interesting, 

 as hybrids are rare in this order.' — W. H. Beeby " (p. 96). 



" Ctaex vesicariah. var. ? or hybrid with ainpullacea / By Wire 

 Mill Pond, Surrey, June 10, 1883. Almost or quite sterile. The 

 very few (apparently perfect) nuts that I have been able to find 

 resemble those of C. vesicaria, but are smaller. The leaves are 

 those of robust vesicaria, but the perigynium shows considerable 

 approach to (unpullacca. I cannot detect the latter plant (6'. vesi- 

 caria is abundant) in the immediate vicinity, but it occurs within a 

 few miles. The plant was of a very dark, somewhat translucent, 

 green. — W. H. Beeby" (p. 98). 



From Report for 1884. 



"■ TIdaspi perfuHatum L. Stony ground near Charlbury, Oxon, 

 April, 1884. Sent in order to show that it still exists in Oxford- 

 shire, for which county it is queried in Top. Bot. It occurred in 

 many thousands in the above locality, which is about eight miles 

 from the Binford locality mentioned in Sibthorp and other authors. 

 — G. C. Druce. This is a very interesting re-discovery of a very 

 local plant" (p. 102). 



" Futamotjetuji jlwitans Both. Mr. Fryer sends a single speci- 

 men from some pits in the neighbourhood of Ramse}', Hunts 

 (Co. 31), accompanied by a living specimen ; this up to date (June, 

 1885), shows no signs of flowering with me, but seems quite 

 identical with specimens growing with it from the Loire, Franco
