80 THE JOUItNAL OF UOTANT 



similar metainorplioses of the pistil in *S'. cnprea, the changes con- 

 sisting of a gradual conversion of pistilline into staminal organs. In 

 the Gamhridqe Flora it is stated that androgynous Howers are not 

 uncommon among hybrid willows. The tree at King's Wood, 

 however, is pure caprea. On Yate Common Mr. Bucknall has 

 observed several bushes of S. cinerea all with the ovaries becoming 

 staminiferous. This is a protean species, and it would be hard to say 

 whether or no the Yate bushes are free from hybridity. 



8. reperis L. Nailsea Heath ! Miss Roper. Blackdown, near 

 the summit, in small quantity ! F. Samson. 



\_Querciis Gerris L. is abundant, with seedlings, in Limeridge 

 Wood near Tickenham, and in the Brockley Woods, S.] 



Corijlus Avellana L. var. " contorta.^^ With all shoots twisted 

 in a spiral fashion. Tliis abnormality, according to Bowles's My 

 Garden in Sp)ring, was first found by Lord Ducie in a hedge near 

 Tortworth, G. ; and that bush or one derived from it is now, I am 

 told, in the garden of Mr. Gr. W. WoUaston at Flax Bourton. 



Paris quadrifolia L A new station, supplied by Mr. Harold 

 Robbins, in a wood adjoining Beggars' Bush Lane, is now, if the 

 plant be really lost from Leigh Woods, the nearest to the city. 



Orchis ericetorum Linton. An addition to the Flora. Moors 

 and meadows about Shapwick and Ashcott, S. Bev. E. S. Marshall 

 in Fl. Som. Supp>l. 



O. prcetermissa Druce. Plentiful on the Clapton side of the 

 Walton valley, 1917. Noticed and determined by C. Bucknall. 

 Max Bog, Winscombe ; Miss Ropier. 



Habenaria bifolia R. Br. Wrington Warren, S., ten or twelve 

 plants, 1914 ! F. Samson In two enclosures on the moor near Weston- 

 in-Gordano, S., 1917 ; 3Irs. Sandwifh. 



Epipactis latifolia All. Charlton, S. ; D. Williams. In the 

 upper drive, Tyntestiekl; 3Iiss Agnes Fry. Many plants in the 

 wood on Churchill Batch, but none flowering ; June 1915. 



E. atroviridis W. K. Linton. New to the district and to Somer- 

 set. On Lyncombe Hill, Sandford, 1916 ; Miss Roper. Her speci- 

 men was approved by the Rev. E. F. Linton. 



\_Crocus vernus Wulf. In a pasture at some little distance from 

 Thorn bury Castle, G. ; Mr. Rodman. Abundant in a large field at 

 Langford, S., to which I was conducted by Miss Roper. It grows 

 rather thickly around a very fine Lime-tree and extends with the 

 outliers 60 or 70 yards, looking quite wild or at any rate of very long 

 standing. Originally it may perhaps have been derived from the 

 gardens of Langford Court, near by, at a time when the pasture was 

 ploughed land.] 



JSfarcissus bijlorus Curtis. Five or six clumps in a lowland pas- 

 ture N.E. of Portbury, S. ; Miss Lucas. Mr. Waterfall's old record 

 " between Winscombe aud Axbridge " was confirmed in 1914 by 

 Mrs. Cyril Walker. The orchard near Pill, Miss Cundall's station, 

 is, I understand, on the Manor Farm, not on Bridgeman's as stated in 

 Fl. Brist. 



\_N. poeticus L. Two patches of about a dozen roots each among 

 Yews, Birches, etc. on Brockley Warren, S., far from any building
