capsules avo often broader and Wunter than in our prevailing British 

 form, which has them somewhat jujube-shaped, and they thus agree 

 more closely with Jordan's figure. 



65. Coclilearia micacea mihi. In bogs and rills, near the summit 

 of Mickle Fell, at and above 2300 feet. New for England. Quite 

 like the Scottish plant, excepting that, when grown in a pot, the 

 foliage was paler green than usual. The ripe pods are veinless (an 

 important character, strangely ignored both in Babington's Manual, 

 ed. ix., and in the recent editions of Hayward's Pocket Hook). It 

 differs very much from C. alpina, so common in this neighbourhood, 

 which I did not meet Avith above 1600 feet. 



66. Hieracimn pelliccidum Laestad. Kocks near the High Force, 

 and shaley streamsides above Bow Lee, north of Newbiggin, from 950 

 to about 1200 feet. Confirmed by Eev. E. F. Linton as being the 

 type (var. lucidulum Ley) ; it agrees very well with my dried series 

 and with W. R. Linton's description. This, no doubt, is the 

 H. murorum of Backhouse's Monograph (1856). 



66. H. horeale Fr., var. Kervieri Arvet-Touvet. High Force 

 Wood, etc., at 950 to 1000 feet. The name was suggested by 

 Mr. Linton. A considerable northward extension of range for this 

 variety. — Edward S. Marshall. 



RicciA Crozalsii Lev. iif West Cornwall : a Correction. 

 I find that the ]:>lant from the Lizard which I recorded (Journ. Bot. 

 1917, 10) as a. Warnsforfii Limpr. is really R. Crozalsii Levier. 

 My previous experience of the latter was mostly drawn from the 

 plant which I had seen at Harlech under the guidance of Mr. D. A. 

 Jones. It was growing there in large, rather pale, intricate masses 

 with very little violet colouring. The plant from the Lizard grew 

 in small isolated rosettes, and the long narrow branches with marked 

 violet colouring and generally numerous cilia gave it mi;ch superficial 

 resemblance to S. Warnstorjii Limpr. I had kept the plant from 

 the Lizard in cultivation ever since I gathered it. and this year it 

 developed remarkably well. On a more careful and fuller examina- 

 tion of it in a fresh condition when at its best in the spring, I came 

 to the conclusion that the plant was certainly It. Crozalsii Levier, 

 and Mr. D. A. Jones, who is very familiar with this plant in all its 

 forms and who happened to call on me at the time, entirely confirmed 

 this view. R. Crozalsii is a plant of southern distribution — I have 

 gathered it sparingly on Vesuvius — and it luatures in the spring, 

 while R. IVariistorJii has a northern distribution and matures in the 

 autumn, before the stubble-fields in which it is generally found are 

 ploughed up. When both are equally well-developed it is not difficult 

 to distinguish R. Warnsiorjti, which almost invariably grows in 

 isolated rosettes, from R. Crozalsii, by the different frond section, 

 but when the material is poorly or abnormally developed the differ- 

 ences, as is the case with other species in this rather difficult genus, 

 are less eas}^ to make out. — W. E. Nicholson.
