Haxunculus Lingua. In Camb. Brit. Fl.iii. 127 (1920) we 

 read in reference to this species — " We have not noticed an}^ glabrous 

 form {li. lingua \2i\\ glahratus ^^^\\yo\\\, Sched. Crit. 288 (1822)) 

 in this counby, Avhere the plants conform to B. linf/ua var. hirsutus 

 WaUroth loc.city Upon examining the examples in my herbarium I 

 was interested to see this point borne out in all the specimens save 

 one. This important exception, which agreed with Wallroth's dia- 

 gnosis of his glabrafus — " Caule, calycibus foliisque utrinque glaber- 

 rimis," — was' gathered by my friend A. J. Croslield in 1919 in 

 South Buckinghamshire ; the locality lies in District IV of the 

 botanical map accompanying Dr. Druca's account of the botany of 

 the county in the Victoria History, 1905.— C. E. Salmon. 



EoHLUM PLANTAaiXEUM L. A single plant in full flower was 

 found by me in a meadow near a farm at Boxgrove, about 3^ miles 

 N.E. of" Chichester, on August 20th last. It has, I believe, never 

 before been recorded for Sussex. Mr. A. J. Wilmott has confirmed 

 the identity of the plant.— F. Druce. 



The Genus Calobryum. Professor Douglas Campbell m his 

 ])aper " Studies in some East Indian Hepaticese : Calobrgiim Blumei, 

 N. ab E." (Ann. Bot. cxxxiii. 1 (1920)) gives three species in this 

 genus as known at present. He has, no doubt inadvertently, over- 

 looked the fact that a fourth species is known from New Zealand, 

 viz. G. GihhsicB Steph., first recorded by me in this Journal for 1911 

 (xlix. 265), and subsequently described "by Stephani (Sp. Hep. vi. 76 

 (1917). Other new species recorded in my paper, and since described, 

 are: Aneiira Gihhimia Steph. {op, cit, p. 28) and A. pajmlolimhata 

 Steph. (p. 36).— S. S. Gibbs.

 and Alfred Barton Kendle, D.Sc. &c- Vol. iv. Leguminosae

This volume, the third in order of publication, was among the 

 many books delayed by the War. In character it resembles Jts 

 predecessors, which were noticed in this Journal for ]911 (p. 172) 

 aud 1915 (p. 116), hence there is no need to repeat what has been 

 said as to details of arrangement. We may sum these up by saying 

 that, by its numerous illustrations, its careful investigation of the 

 earlier authors, and above all by its thorougli examination of_ the 

 material from old collectors pre'served in the National Herbarium, 

 the Flora, whether regarded from the standpoints of science or of 

 general utility, is in advance of any ])revious work of its kind. 



The arrangement being that of Engler and Prantl, the statement 

 that the volume includes " Leguminosae to Callitriehacese " will not 

 convey much indication of its contents to those who follow other 

 classifications. It comprises Euphorbiacea?, Kutacea3, Geraniacea?, 

 Polvo-alaceie, and numerou.s other groups, and is moreover somewhat
